Exporting

Export your collections for sharing, backup, or use in other tools. Right-click a collection in the sidebar and select Export, then choose a format.

Export Formats

Format	Extension	Use for
Postman	.json	Sharing with Postman users, v2.1 compatible
HAR 1.2	.har	Network recording replay, browser DevTools compatibility
Nouto Native	.json	Full-fidelity backup, transfer between Nouto installations
Bulk Export	.json	Export all collections at once

Postman Export

Exports to Postman Collection v2.1 format. Folder structure, auth settings, headers, body, query params, and variables are preserved. You can import the file directly into Postman.

HAR Export

Exports to HAR 1.2 standard format. Includes full request details, timing data, cookies, and redirect chains. Compatible with Chrome DevTools, Firefox DevTools, Charles Proxy, Postman, and Insomnia.

Nouto Native Export

The native format preserves everything: assertions, scripts, auth inheritance, collection variables, notes, and all request configuration. Use this for backup or to move collections between machines.

All IDs are regenerated on import to avoid conflicts.

Bulk Export

Use Export All Collections from the Command Palette to export every collection into a single file.

Round-Trip Fidelity

Collections exported in Nouto native format and re-imported retain full fidelity: folders, requests, auth, headers, variables, assertions, scripts, and notes are all preserved.

For Postman format, most data is preserved. Nouto-specific features like assertions, scripts, and auth inheritance are not included in the Postman export since Postman does not support them in its collection schema.
