🚀 Feature Request: AI-Powered Bidirectional API Conversion

Hi Postman team 👋

Thank you for building and maintaining the most beloved tool in the API ecosystem 🙏

I'd love to suggest a powerful AI-driven feature that bridges the gap between Postman requests, cURL commands, and backend routes in various languages/frameworks.

---

🌐 Core Idea

Allow developers to input any of the following:

• A raw API URL or cURL command
• A backend route/controller (Express, Laravel, FastAPI, Deno/Oak, etc.)
• A Postman request

And have Postman automatically convert between them.

💡 Why Use AI?
• Detects body schema from variable usage
• Infers headers (e.g., JWT, content-type)
• Detects RESTful semantics (/users/:id)
• Converts idiomatic backend code to usable requests

⸻

🧑‍💻 Developer Use Cases
• Quickly create backend scaffolding from frontend requests
• Share routes between teams regardless of backend tech
• Turn logs or browser network activity into Postman requests
• Auto-generate code snippets from request collections

⸻

🤔 Is This On the Roadmap?

This feature could be a game-changer — especially paired with AI context awareness. Is something like this being considered?

Thanks again for all your incredible work!

May Allah you🙏

🔄 Examples

1. Convert cURL → Postman Request (already exist)

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/users \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Jane Doe", "email": "[email protected]"}'

✅ Converts to a Postman request with:
	•	Method: POST
	•	URL: https://api.example.com/users
	•	Headers: Auth + Content-Type
	•	Body: JSON payload

⸻

2. Convert Postman Request → Backend Route

Choose a backend language (e.g., Deno, Laravel, Express) and generate:

🟢 Express (Node.js)

app.post("/users", (req, res) => {
  const { name, email } = req.body;
  // Your logic here
});

🟡 Laravel (PHP)

Route::post('/users', function (Request $request) {
    $name = $request->input('name');
    $email = $request->input('email');
    // Logic here
});

🔵 Deno (Oak)

router.post("/users", async (ctx) => {
  const { name, email } = await ctx.request.body({ type: "json" }).value;
  // Logic here
});


⸻

3. Convert Backend Route → Postman Request

Paste an Express or Laravel route, and Postman generates the full request setup:
	•	Method
	•	Path
	•	Headers
	•	Dummy body schema

⸻

### Describe alternatives you've considered

_No response_

### Additional context

 
As a full-stack developer working on end-to-end projects, I often find myself switching between different tools just to replicate or generate API routes. That’s what inspired this idea — having these features built into Postman would help developers like us stay in one environment and ship faster.
