A Developer's Guide to the Postman to cURL Converter

The Postman to cURL Converter is a time-saving utility for developers who use Postman for API testing but need to share requests as curl commands or use them in shell scripts. It allows you to convert an entire Postman collection into a list of equivalent curl commands.

Features

• Collection Conversion: Upload an exported Postman collection JSON file (v2.1.0 format) to process all requests within it.
• Environment Variable Support: Optionally upload a Postman environment file. The tool will automatically substitute variables (like {{baseUrl}} or {{authToken}}) in your requests with the values from the environment file.
• Handles Common Request Types: Correctly translates request methods, headers, and raw body content into the appropriate curl flags.
• Organized Output: Displays the generated commands in a clean, scrollable list, with each command tied to its original request name.
• Easy Copying: Each generated command has its own dedicated copy button.

How to Use

1. Export from Postman:
   • In Postman, export your collection as a "Collection v2.1.0" JSON file.
   • If you use environment variables, export your environment as a JSON file as well.
2. Upload Files:
   • Click to upload your collection file.
   • Click to upload your environment file (this is optional).
3. Convert: Click the "Convert Collection" button.
4. View and Copy: The tool will process the files and display a list of cards, each containing the request name and its generated curl command. Use the copy button on any card to grab the command you need.
