Import Bruno API Tests into Blinq.io ​

Blinq.io now supports importing API requests from Bruno, a lightweight and developer-friendly API client. This integration allows you to migrate your existing Bruno API tests into Blinq.io without manually recreating each request.

To import Bruno API tests into Blinq.io:

  1. Export your collection from Bruno.
  2. Add the exported files to your Blinq.io project.
  3. Use the imported API steps in your test scenarios through the Recorder.

1. Export Your API Tests from Bruno ​

Begin by exporting your existing API collection from Bruno.

Steps: ​

  1. Open Bruno and navigate to the collection containing your API requests.

  2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the request you want to export.

  3. Select Show in folder from the menu.

    NOTE

    .bru` files contain all the necessary request information, including method, URL, headers, body, authentication, variables, scripts, and tests.

2. Add Bruno Collection Files to Your Blinq.io Project ​

Once you have the exported files, add them to your Blinq.io project.

Steps: ​

  1. Open your project in Visual Studio Code (VS Code).
