Import Data

Bruno CLI allows you to import API specifications directly into Bruno collections from the command line, which can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines whenever API changes are committed.

Importing OpenAPI Specifications

Option 1: Import to Bruno Collection

This will import the OpenAPI specification (supports both YAML and JSON formats) and generate a Bruno collection in the specified output directory.

```bash copy bru import openapi \ --source \ --output \ --collection-name "Petstore API" 

Where:
- `<your-openapi.yaml>`: Path to your OpenAPI specification file (can be either YAML or JSON format)
- `<preferred-location>`: Directory where you want to save the collection
- `--collection-name`: Custom name for the collection

### Option 2: Import to Single JSON File

This will import the OpenAPI specification and generate a Bruno collection as a single JSON file at the specified location.

```bash copy
bru import openapi \
  --source <your-openapi.yaml> \
  --output-file <preferred-location>.json \
  --collection-name "Petstore API"

Where: - <your-openapi.yaml>: Path to your OpenAPI specification file (can be either YAML or JSON format) - <preferred-location>: Base path and filename for your JSON output - --collection-name: Custom name for the collection

Importing WSDL (SOAP APIs)

This will import the WSDL file and generate a Bruno collection with SOAP requests in the specified output directory.

bash copy bru import wsdl <your-service.wsdl> --output <preferred-location>

Where: - <your-service.wsdl>: Path to your WSDL file - <preferred-location>: Directory where you want to save the collection
