Importing

Bring existing work into Impostor by importing Postman collections and environments, or by pasting a cURL command.

Postman compatibility

Impostor provides first-class support for importing Postman v2.1 collections. The importer accurately maps folders, requests, headers, body modes, and scripts. It also correctly handles Postman’s authentication and script inheritance, ensuring your setup remains intact.

You can import Postman environments directly; any variables marked as secret will be securely migrated to your OS keychain.

After an import, you will receive a detailed report outlining counts and surfacing warnings for any Postman-specific features that are unsupported.

cURL commands

For quick ad-hoc requests, you can import a request directly by pasting a cURL command. Impostor will parse the command and populate a new tab with the corresponding URL, method, headers, and body.
