What are Collections in PostQode?

Collections in PostQode are organized groups of related API requests that facilitate structured and comprehensive API testing and development. These collections ensure that all necessary API endpoints are documented, tested, and managed efficiently. By grouping API requests together, collections help streamline the development process, making it easier to manage and verify that APIs meet their requirements.

Key Benefits

Collections in PostQode provide:

• Reusability: Save and reuse common API interactions
• Organization: Systematic management through folders and categories
• Collaboration: Share collections with team members
• Efficiency: Streamlined testing and development workflows
• Flexibility: Import from tools like Postman and Swagger

Creating Folders in Collections

Collections support groups as folders, allowing you to organize API requests with groups inside collections and sub-group levels as well for better hierarchical organization.

Step 1: Click on the created collection's more options menu (⋯)

Step 2: Navigate to the action menu and select Create Folder from the options

Step 3: Give the name of the folder and press Enter

tip

Collections work seamlessly with Test Suites and Variables, allowing you to create comprehensive API testing and development workflows within PostQode.

Next Steps

Now that you understand what Collections are, you can:

1. Import existing collections from Postman or OpenAPI specifications
2. Create new collections from scratch
3. Integrate collections with Test Cases for automated testing workflows

Collections form the foundation of efficient API development and testing in PostQode, providing the structure and organization needed for professional API management.
