flask2postman 1.1.1

flask2postman

A tool that creates a Postman collection from a Flask application.

Install

$ pip install flask2postman

Example

We have a Flask project called “example”, (see example.py), and we want to generate a Postman collection out of it.

We just need to tell flask2postman how to import the Flask instance, and optionally give a name to the collection:

$ flask2postman example.app --name "Example Collection" > example.json

This will generate the JSON configuration, and write it into the example.json file.

Then we just have to import this file into Postman (“Import Collection” button, left panel, top right), and profit:
