Hey @shivach2! I was able to fix workaround this by:

1. Exporting all my Postman data. Link to docs
2. Unzip the exported data.
3. Import the specific <collection-uuid>.json

For me you can take any valid openapi spec and convert it to a postman collection to reproduce this issue using openapi-to-postman then importing the collection into httpie/desktop.

On that note would be nice to just import in an openapi spec (yaml or json), but that would require a separate feature request.

Is this where httpie/desktop issues are being filed? @jkbrzt @iAmWillShepherd @saivanji

Same problem with a different error, also importing from Import the specific .json as suggested by @prettyirrelevant does not work anyway:

Hi, have you resolved the problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Hello I had the same problem when trying to import a postman collection for the CommerceTools API but I am getting the error Invalid at /item/0. Error: must have required property 'request'.

I fixed this by importing it into Postman, then re-exporting it as Postman version 2.1 which Httpie imported without issues.

✅ Fixed in HTTPie Desktop v2025.1.0 — thanks for the reports!

Hi, after your update, I have tried to import my Postman collection again but am still facing the same issue.

@MaryamKazemit Could you share a link to the collection or send it to [email protected]? Thanks!

In v2025.2.0, we fixed another Postman collection import bug by implementing a workaround for multiple format variants using the same version identifier. Full changelog: https://httpie.io/blog/changelog-0027
