Export to Postman

Export a configured API Toolkit request as a Postman collection with authentication settings for testing and code generation.

2 min read

Move a working SpreadsheetWeb calculation request from API Toolkit into Postman without rebuilding the request manually. The export creates a Postman collection that contains the API endpoint, request payload, and the authentication configuration required by the selected web service client.

Prepare the request in API Toolkit

Configure and test the calculation in API Toolkit before exporting it. Add the required inputs, outputs, transaction settings, and any optional processes the external integration will need.

Run the request at least once and confirm that the response contains the expected results. Exporting a verified request gives you a dependable starting point in Postman.

Export the Postman collection

  1. Select the Postman export option in API Toolkit.
  2. Choose a Web Service Client that has permission to access the application and any additional resources used by the request.
  3. Choose the collection export option shown in the dialog.
  4. Export and download the Postman collection.

The generated collection packages the request together with its authentication header. This avoids copying identifiers, recreating the JSON body, and configuring authorization from scratch.

Test and reuse the request in Postman

Import the downloaded collection into Postman. You can then run the calculation request, inspect the response, change test values, and use Postman's environments or collection tools as needed for the integration workflow.

Postman can also generate request code for supported languages and HTTP libraries. Use that generated code as a starting point for the consuming application, then apply your normal credential storage, error handling, logging, and deployment practices.

If the imported request cannot access the application, verify that the selected web service client has the necessary SpreadsheetWeb permissions before changing the request body.
