Importing a Paw / RapidAPI project
Paw (now RapidAPI for Mac) exports its projects as JSON. Restorm imports that format.
Importing
Section titled “Importing”File ▸ Import (Ctrl+I) then the JSON file exported from Paw.
What is imported
Section titled “What is imported”| Paw element | What Restorm makes of it |
|---|---|
| Request groups | Nested folders |
| Requests | HTTP requests |
| Paw environments | Restorm environments; a Default environment is created if there is none |
Dynamic values
Section titled “Dynamic values”Paw has a system of dynamic values (timestamp, UUID, base64 encoding, hashing…). Restorm maps each one to the closest Handlebars helper.
A dynamic value with no equivalent is replaced with the literal marker
[[paw:unsupported-dynamic-value]], and a note is added to the description of
the field concerned. You therefore see exactly what is left to translate by
hand, rather than discovering the problem on the first run.
