Keep a request from History#

You clear History as a whole, and you cannot recover it. To keep a request for good, save it into a collection, where it stays until you delete it. This page covers the Save to collection popover, reached from a history row.

Save from the history menu#

Open the three-dot menu on a history row and choose Save to collection. A small popover opens with one field, a Collection list that names every collection you have. Choose one and click Save. The request goes to the top of that collection. Save stays disabled until you choose a collection.

API Client saves the whole request, exactly as it ran: its method, URL, query parameters, headers, and body. The name comes from the method and the last part of the URL path, for example GET users for a request to https://api.example.com/v1/users. You can rename it later from the Collections tree.

Save into a folder instead#

The popover saves to the top level of a collection, not into a folder. To place a request inside a folder, open it in a tab first, then use Save from the URL bar, which lets you choose the exact spot. See Saving a request.

Once saved, a request behaves like any other collection item. You can move, rename, or delete it. See Managing items.
