Inventory Import – Populate API Inventory Using Hoppscotch Collections

Overview

Inventory Import is a feature that allows you to import well maintained, runnable Postman collections to automatically populate your API Inventory. This serves as the foundation for running DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) scans by executing requests from your Postman file, capturing their request/response data, and indexing the reachable endpoints.

How to import Inventory From Hoppscotch Collection

Although the Astra platform does not yet support importing Hoppscotch collections directly, you can still achieve this by first converting your Hoppscotch collection into a Postman collection and then importing that Postman collection into Astra. The following steps explain this process in detail.

Step 1 - Export Files From Hoppscotch

In Hoppscotch, click the more icon next to a collection or environment and click Export.

Select the location where you want to export the data and click Save.

Step 2 - Import Hoppscotch Files To Postman

In Postman, click Import > Migrate to Postman > Other.

Select the Select data to migrate option.

Click files or folder, then select the files or folder you want to import and click Open. If the Start Migration button isn’t enabled, make sure you’ve selected a valid Hoppscotch file.

Click Start Migration. A message appears in the footer when migration is complete. Your imported collection will appear in the collection lists.

Step 3 - Export Postman Collection

Select the Postman collection you want to Export. Click on Export and Save it to the location of your choice.

Step 4 - Import Postman Collection into Astra Dashboard
