Managing API Collections
Group multiple APIs together for management
1 min read
An API Collection is a group that bundles several related APIs into one. Usually the APIs belonging to a single server (or a single OpenAPI spec) form one Collection.
What a Collection Shares
- Name & description — information that identifies the Collection
- Servers — base URLs. You can keep several servers and select one of them.
- Tags — categorize the APIs within the Collection
Each API has only a relative path instead of a full address. The actual request address is built as selected base URL + path, so changing the server (e.g., development ↔ production) changes the address of every API at once.
Creating a Collection
- When you import OpenAPI / Swagger, each spec is automatically created as one Collection.
- When you add an API manually, it goes into the default Collection ("My APIs").
If the server address differs across development and production environments, register multiple base URLs under the Collection's servers and switch between them as needed. There's no need to edit each API one by one.
