Automate backups of your Postman Collections with the Postman API
Blog post from Postman
Postman provides several methods for backing up and recovering collections, allowing users to manually or programmatically maintain copies of their data. Users can utilize the Postman API's GET and PUT collection endpoints to back up collections by reading a source collection and updating an empty destination collection, although this process involves removing certain ID fields and navigating API rate limits. The alternative of using the /collections/{id}/pulls endpoint offers a faster, single-request method to propagate changes from a source to a destination collection, ideal for integration into CI/CD processes. For complex scenarios involving large collections, the Transfers APIs facilitate the movement of collection items between collections and folders, though this method is slower and requires more coding expertise. Each method has its pros and cons, catering to different needs based on collection size and complexity, while also considering factors like potential conflicts and API rate limitations.
