Where are Postman collections saved?

Question

Where does the standalone Postman client for Windows save collections when working offline?

To clarify, I want to find where Postman saves collection files to by def

Answer 1

Win10: You have to back up your old Postman C:\Users%user%\AppData\Roaming\Postman\IndexedDB Then copy it to the same location of the new Postman installation.

This will recover all your collections.

Answer 2

Linux Chrome or Chromium Postman extension storage path Location

/home/{USER}/.config/chromium/Default/Storage/ext/fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncffffdomop/

Thanks.

Answer 3

It looks like Postman uses LevelDB. On Windows, I found my Postman DB located at:

C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Postman\IndexedDB\

According to Piere F, macOS users can find it under:

~/Library/Application Support/Postman/IndexedDB

According to David, Ubuntu users can find it under:

~/.config/Postman/IndexedDB

Answer 4

Alternatively, if you just want to look at the collection, you can export it into json format from the collection menu.

Answer 5

For the version Postman from Google Chrome extension, you need copy all files from path:

"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Storage\ext\fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncffffdomop\def\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_..."

The files inside path above contains all history and collections from Postman

Postman is using Chromium offline storage capabilities because at the end it's a SPA running inside Chromium (Electron technology).

From Postman's top menubar:

• Select View → Show Dev Tools
• Select the Application tab
• In the sidebar, open Storage → IndexedDB → postman - file:// → collection_requests
