Docs API Client Import & Export

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 .json or .vtx files
  • 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:

FormatDescription
.jsonStandard JSON — human-readable, compatible with other tools
.vtxVortexHQ 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 expands Route::resource and grouped routes, then generates a fully structured cluster
  • Single request — Generate individual requests from a description within an existing cluster
