How does Postman, Insomnia & Bruno Import/Export work in 1DevTool?

Step 1: Import Existing Collections — Bring in Postman, Insomnia, or Bruno collections directly from their existing export formats. Step 2: Preserve Structure — Folders, bodies, headers, environments, and most auth settings stay attached to the imported requests. Step 3: Work Natively in 1DevTool — Edit, run, and organize those requests inside the built-in HTTP client alongside your code and terminals. Step 4: Export When Needed — Round-trip the collection back out when you need to share with teammates or support an external workflow.

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Switching API clients usually fails at migration. Teams already have years of requests stored in Postman, Insomnia, or Bruno, and nobody wants to recreate folders, auth setup, headers, and environments by hand. 1DevTool removes that adoption cost by importing those formats directly and exporting back out when you need to share with teammates or keep another workflow alive during the transition.

How It Works

Get started in 4 simple steps

1

Import Existing Collections

Bring in Postman, Insomnia, or Bruno collections directly from their existing export formats.

2

Preserve Structure

Folders, bodies, headers, environments, and most auth settings stay attached to the imported requests.

3

Work Natively in 1DevTool

Edit, run, and organize those requests inside the built-in HTTP client alongside your code and terminals.

4

Export When Needed

Round-trip the collection back out when you need to share with teammates or support an external workflow.

Without 1DevTool

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Export from Postman manually

# Rebuild the requests in a second tool

# Lose auth or environment setup

# Keep both tools open because migration is incomplete

The 1DevTool Way

Import existing collections directly.

Work natively in 1DevTool.

Export back out when a teammate still needs another format.
