My team and I use Postman when we work on a project with a REST server.
I'm generally the one that builds out the REST server and has all the requests mapped in Postman which I export the collection and commit it in git so the rest of the team stays up-to-date and can do their own tests whilst developing the clients to consume the REST server.
I have been looking at PAW for a while and I have two questions:
Thanks
As I'm not sure if everyone in the team will out lay the money to buy the app, can you export from Paw and import into Postman? You can import your Paw requests into Postman using cURL requests. Just make sure to grab the cURL Code Generator from the Paw Extension page, and export your cURL Request.
However, it is critical to remember that postman collection is usually exported in JSON format for easier sharing. 1.1 1. Select the collection you want to export 1.2 2. Click on the ellipsis (…) button to open the options menu. 1.3 3. Choose the recommended version to export 1.4 4.
Click on the ellipsis (…) button to open the options menu. Right on the postman collection you selected, look for the ellipsis icon and click it to unlock the drop-down menu. Scroll down the menu until you reach the export command. Hit the export command to move to the next step. 3. Choose the recommended version to export
#2) Have collection level variables set that can apply to all requests within that collection. For example, instead of individually adding headers to each request, you can simply apply headers to all requests within that Postman collection using pre-request scripts or authorization headers.

You can import your Paw requests into Postman using cURL requests.
Just make sure to grab the cURL Code Generator from the Paw Extension page, and export your cURL Request.
Then import it into Postman as shown:
Export from Paw:
File -> Export All Requests ->
You get presented a short list of already installed exporters followed by the section Available Online
showing more export formats. Choose Postman 2.0
. The plugin is installed on-the-fly and a JSON file is exported.
Import to Postman:
Import -> Import File ->
Drag exported JSON file into import window.
