In the pop-up import window, you have several options to import your JSON file:
- File: Drag your JSON file into the pop-up window, or click 'Upload Files' to select your file for upload.
- Folder: If you need to import a folder containing multiple JSON files, you can use this option.
- Link: If your JSON file is online, you can import it by pasting the link.
- Raw text: If you only have JSON text, you can paste it directly into this area.
3.Confirm JSON File Import
After selecting your JSON file (or pasting content), click 'Import' to complete the import. The import here depends on the type and content of the file you are importing.Postman can handle it as a new Collection, Environment, or API Specification.
Note that Postman can only import JSON files in specific supported formats. If your JSON file has a non-standard format or a structure unknown to Postman, you may need to convert it to a format supported by Postman first.
