My application generates Open API/Swagger specification file. It may have new API additions/updates. I want to have an automated script/job which uploads/updates this specification into existing postman collection. I looked in Powershell, Terraform, Postman APIs but they don't support it.
Is there any other way to achieve what I want ?
The postman has an official tool called swagger2-postman2-converter to update postman.
And the official blog Sync your specs describes in detail how to update collections using this tool.
Here are the detailed steps. I am using the sample code provided by postman. You can replace your file with the corresponding file in the sample.
If you don't have a Postman API key, go to your account settings and generate one. Click Postman API for detailed information.
Stored your key in a json file. The _secrets.json file in this sample.
Run the GET API to get your collection_uid and collection_id and update the config.js file.
Get All Collections: https://api.getpostman.com/collections
Get Single Collection: https://api.getpostman.com/collections/{{collection_uid}}
Run npm install fs swagger2-postman2-converter to install the dependencies.
Run node converter.js
Run PUT API to update your collection.
PUT Update Collection: https://api.getpostman.com/collections/{{collection_uid}}
After you have run it once, if you have any updates to your swagger.json file, you only need to perform steps 5 and 6.
