Manual Import

If you were originally using other tools and now want to migrate to Apidog, you can use the Manual Import feature.

Where to Import?

You can access the import feature from the following locations:

Project Settings: Go to Settings -> Import Data.

API List (Directory Tree): Click the + button next to the search bar and select Import.

Team Page: Click the Import Project button on the project list page.

How to Manually Import

The import dialog is All-in-One: provide your data first, and Apidog automatically detects the format.

Provide Your Data
Paste an HTTP(S) URL, a cURL command, or JSON text into the input box, or drop (or click to select) a file. As you type a URL, Apidog pre-validates it in real time — invalid, unreachable, or password-protected URLs are reported immediately so you can fix them before importing.

Confirm the Detected Format
Apidog automatically detects the data format (e.g., OpenAPI, Postman, cURL). If the format cannot be detected, choose it manually from the format list.

Preview and Confirm
Apidog will parse the file and show a preview. You can select specific endpoints to import.

To customize how data is merged (e.g., overwrite vs. skip duplicates), check the Import Options.

Complete Import
Click "Confirm" to finish. Your data will now be available in the project.

For URLs that require username/password authentication, enable Basic Auth in the import dialog. To import from internal or local network URLs in the web app, install the Apidog browser extension so the URL can be reached and pre-validated.

Advanced: Importing to Sprint Branches

By default, data is imported into the Main Branch. If you are using Version Control, you can import directly into a specific Sprint Branch.

The target branch is determined by the branch currently selected in the top-left corner of the app.

For more details, refer to OAS imports into branches.
