Postman collection converter
Convert your Postman collections into different formats.
Very fast.
Offline.
Without 3rd-party dependencies.
These formats are supported for now: http
, curl
, wget
.
This project has been started and quickly written in my spare time to solve one exact problem in one NDA-project, so it may contain stupid errors and (for sure) doesn't cover all possible cases according to collection schema. Feel free to propose your improvements.
Versions older than the latest are not supported, only current one is.
If you found an error in old version please ensure if an error you found has been fixed in latest version.
So please always use the latest version of pm-convert
.
Supported features
- collection schemas v2.1 and v2.0;
- replace vars in requests by stored in collection and environment file;
- export one or several collections (or even whole directories) into one or all of formats supported at the same time;
- all headers (including disabled for
http
-format); json
body (forces headerContent-Type
toapplication/json
);formdata
body (including disabled fields forhttp
-format; forces headerContent-Type
tomultipart/form-data
)
Planned features
- support as many as possible/necessary of authentication kinds (currently only
Bearer
supported); - support as many as possible/necessary of body formats (currently only
json
andformdata
supported); - documentation generation support (markdown) with response examples (if present) (#6);
- maybe some another convert formats (like httpie or something...);
- better logging;
- 90%+ test coverage, phpcs, psalm, etc.;
- web version.

Usage
Notices
- Result of
pm-convert
execution is bunch of generated files. Most likely they will contain errors such as not interpolated{{variables}}
values (due to missed ones in collection), wrong command format orGET
s with bodies. You must review any generated file before using. - Make sure every (I mean every) collection (not collection file), its folders and/or requests has unique names. If not, you can rename them in Postman or convert collections with similar names into different directories. Otherwise any generated file may be accidently overwritten by another one.
Notes about variable interpolation
- You can use -e to tell where to find variables to replace in requests.
- You can use one or several --var to replace specific env variables to your own value.
- Correct syntax is
--var "NAME=VALUE"
.NAME
may be in curly braces like{{NAME}}
. - Since -e is optional, a bunch of
--var
will emulate an environment. Also it does not matter if there is--var
in environment file you provided or not. - Even if you (not) provided -e and/or
--var
, any of variable may still be overridden from collection (if any), so last ones has top priority.
Notes about conversion between Postman Schemas
You can use --v2.1
to convert v2.1 into v2.1 (and this is not a typo).
Same applies to --v2.0
.
There is a case when a collection has been exported via Postman API.
In such case collection itself places in single root object called collection
like this:
So, pm-convert will just raise actual data up on top level and write into disk.
Settings file
You may want to specify parameters once and just use them everytime without explicit defining arguments to pm-convert
.
This might be done in several ways.
-
Save this file as
pm-convert-settings.json
in your project directory:Fill it with values you need.
-
Add
--dump
at the end of your command and all arguments you provided will be converted and saved aspm-convert-settings.json
in your curent working directory. For example in--help
file will contain this:If settings file already exists then you will be asked what to do: overwrite it, back it up or exit.
Once settings file saved in current you can just run pm-convert
.
Settings will be applied like if you pass them explicitly via arguments.
How to implement a new format
- Create new namespace in
./src/Converters
and name it according to format of your choice. - Create two classes for converter and request object which extends
Converters\Abstract\Abstract{Converter, Request}
respectively. - Change constants values in your new request class according to format you want to implement.
- Add your converter class name in
Converters\ConvertFormat
. - Write your own logic in converter, write new methods and override abstract ones.

So the goal of this project is to:
- take the data and its synchronization under own transparent control;
- easily migrate to something more RAM tolerant and productive, easier and free to use;
- get off the needle of the vendor lock, strict restrictions for teams and not to pay incredible $$$ for heavy useless WYSIWYGs;
- give YOU these opportunities.
