Import and Export

Scrapeman reads collections from four external formats and exports history as HAR. Two more export targets are planned.

Import Formats

Postman Collection v2.1

Reads the standard Postman JSON export format (importPostmanCollection).

  • Preserves folder hierarchy
  • Auth: basic, bearer, API key, OAuth 2.0, AWS Signature v4
  • Headers and all body modes: raw, JSON, XML, URL-encoded, form-data, binary, GraphQL
  • Collection and folder variables
  • Unsupported features (pre-request scripts, test scripts, unknown auth types) generate import warnings — the request is still imported without them

Bruno .bru Folders

Reads a directory of .bru files, Bruno's INI-like plain-text format (importBrunoFolder).

  • Parses method blocks, headers, and auth (bearer, basic)
  • Body modes: JSON, XML, text, URL-encoded, multipart
  • Query params and path params
  • Folder hierarchy mirrors the directory structure on disk

Insomnia v4 JSON

Reads Insomnia v4 export files (importInsomniaExport). The file must have _type: "export" and __export_format: 4.

  • Walks the resource list by type: request, request_group, environment, cookie_jar
  • Rebuilds folder tree from _id / parentId relationships
  • Maps all five Insomnia auth types
  • Cookie jars and workspace resources generate import warnings

HAR 1.2

Reads Chrome DevTools HAR exports (importHar).

  • Each log.entries[].request becomes one Scrapeman request
  • Handles JSON, XML, form, HTML, and plain-text body types
  • HTTP/2 pseudo-headers (:method, :path, etc.) are automatically skipped

curl

Paste a curl command directly into the import dialog, or import from a .sh file.

Parsed flags:

  • -X / --request — HTTP method
  • -H / --header — request headers
  • -d / --data / --data-raw / --data-binary — request body
  • -u / --user — basic auth
  • --cookie — cookie header
  • -F / --form — multipart form fields
  • --proxy — proxy URL

Export Formats

HAR 1.2

Exports history entries as a standard HAR file (exportHar).

  • Maps request, response, timings, and query parameters to the HAR schema
  • Round-trip tested: import then export then re-import produces an equivalent collection

Postman v2.1 (planned)

Export the active collection as a Postman v2.1 JSON file. Tracked as T093.

.sman Bundle (planned)

A ZIP-based portable bundle containing .req.yaml files, environments, and body sidecars. Designed for sharing a workspace as a single file without requiring a git repository. Tracked as T097/T098.
