Import & Export
Import collections from Postman, export as JSON or encrypted VTX format, or generate from AI.
Import
VortexHQ can import API collections from multiple sources:
- File import — Browse for
.jsonor.vtxfiles - Drag-and-drop — Drop collection files directly onto the sidebar tree
- URL import — Paste a URL to a publicly accessible collection file
- Postman format — VortexHQ automatically parses Postman Collection v2.1 format
Export
Export your clusters in two formats:
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
.json | Standard JSON — human-readable, compatible with other tools |
.vtx | VortexHQ encrypted format — passphrase-protected, portable between machines (Pro+ only) |
AI-Generated Collections
VortexHQ can generate entire API clusters from AI:
- From description — Describe your API in plain English ("REST API for a blog with posts, comments, and users") and AI generates the complete collection with folders, requests, headers, and body templates
- From project source code — Select your project's route files (e.g., Laravel
routes/api.php) and VortexHQ will scan them. It automatically expandsRoute::resourceand grouped routes, then generates a fully structured cluster - Single request — Generate individual requests from a description within an existing cluster
