Mass import Postman collection/requests into Swagger Explore API/operation

Question

I inherited an old code base that doesn't have any API documentations and I want to use Swagger Hub for it. We fortunately have a collection in Postman for most of the endpoints.I am following the instructions in the Explore.cli.Explore What's New - Import Postman Collection | SmartBear CommunityI want to confirm the expected behaviours on import of a Postman collection since this feature is not in the documentations yet: I imported a Postman collection json file of about 60 requests.Each Postman request created an API and within the API contains a singular Operation (e.g. GET /user/).If so, is there a way to import the entire Postman collection's into a single API with the 60 requests as Operations?

The explore.cli verbose said all requests OK with connection created.I also tried to add folder with 4 Postman requests but it didn't seem to make a difference when it gets imported as all 4 requests were imported as API with a singular operation.

Hi chewbika&nbsp;
What you describe is the current behaviour. If you could create an GitHub issue, I'll see about adding the ability to group requests under a single connection when within the same folder level.

Hi there,This is really interesting, and I’m looking into similar functionality. I wanted to ask if it's possible to develop a tool similar to how InShot Editor functions—something user-friendly and intuitive—but for managing API documentation or collections, like with Swagger or Postman.For example, could we build a solution that allows importing an entire Postman collection into a single Swagger API, where all requests are automatically structured as operations under one API, instead of creating multiple APIs for each individual request? I believe this would streamline the process significantly, especially for legacy codebases like the one I’m working with.Would something like this be feasible?Thanks!
