Endpoint Details
What Is a Postman Collection?
A Postman collection is a structured JSON file that groups API requests, environment variables, and test scripts together. Collections follow the Postman Collection v2.1 schema and contain metadata about each endpoint including the HTTP method, URL, headers, query parameters, request body, and response examples. This viewer parses Postman collection JSON and presents the endpoints in a clean, navigable interface. Developers use it to quickly explore API collections without opening Postman, share API documentation with team members, and review endpoint structures during code reviews. It is particularly useful for understanding API surface area, checking authentication patterns, and ensuring consistent request and response formats across endpoints.
How to Use This Tool
- Upload or paste a collection — Drag and drop a .json collection file or paste the collection JSON directly into the text area.
- Click Parse Collection — The tool reads the v2.1 schema and extracts all endpoints, folders, and metadata.
- Browse endpoints — Click on any endpoint in the list to view its details including method, URL, headers, request body, and response examples.
- Use quick examples — Click the sample buttons (Users API, E-commerce) to load pre-built collections for exploration.
- Analyze endpoint details — The detail panel shows full request configuration and response examples for each endpoint.
