Create and manage request collections in Postman | Postman Learning Center (2024)

A collection is one of the fundamental elements in Postman. Use collections to save all your API requests, keep them organized, and find them when you need them. When you're ready, you can share your collections with other members of your team—or anyone in the world.

Create new collections

Create a new Postman Collection to save requests you use often, or to group requests for a specific purpose, such as testing APIs or simulating workflows. You can create a collection from scratch or from one of Postman's predefined templates. To learn more, go to Create collections of API requests in Postman

Add API requests

You can save new API requests to a collection, or move existing requests into a collection. A collection can contain HTTP requests, or you can create a multi-protocol collection with other types of requests, such as GraphQL or gRPC. To learn more, go to Add API requests to Postman Collections.

Keep your collections organized

You can arrange the API requests in a collection in any order you choose, or add folders to group requests together. If you make a change you don't like, or delete a collection by mistake, you can restore it back to an earlier state. To learn more, go to Manage and organize Postman Collections.

Collaborate with others

You can share collections to invite others to collaborate with you, or watch a collection to get notified about changes. Tag collections to make them easier for others to find, and add comments to a collection to let others know what you're thinking. To learn more, go to Share and collaborate on Postman Collections.
