Every collection is identified by the unique value of this field. The value of this field is usually easiest to generate using a UID generator function. If you already have a collection, it is recommended that you maintain the same id since changing the id usually implies that this is a different collection than it was originally.
A collection's friendly name is defined by this field. You would want to set this field to a value that would allow you to easily identify this collection among a bunch of other collections, as such outlining its usage or content.
Provide a long description of this collection using this field. This field supports markdown syntax to better format the description.
Collection variables allow you to define a set of variables, that are a part of the collection, as opposed to environments, which are separate entities. Note: Collection variables must not contain any sensitive information.
The order array ensures that your requests and folders don't randomly get shuffled up. It holds a sequence of UUIDs corresponding to folders and requests. Note that if a folder ID or a request ID (if the request is not already part of a folder) is not included in the order array, the request or the folder will not show up in the collection.
The folders order array ensures that your requests and folders don't randomly get shuffled up. It holds a sequence of UUIDs corresponding to folders and requests. Note that if a folder ID or a request ID (if the request is not already part of a folder) is not included in the order array, the request or the folder will not show up in the collection.
Folders are the way to go if you want to group your requests and to keep things organised. Folders can also be useful in sequentially requesting a part of the entire collection by using Postman Collection Runner or Newman on a particular folder.
A request represents an HTTP request.
Postman allows you to configure scripts to run when specific events occur. These scripts are stored here, and can be referenced in the collection by their ID.
