getCollection
Retrieve Postman collection details including metadata, folder structures, and API requests. Choose response format from lightweight maps to complete payloads using model parameters.
Instructions
Get information about a collection. By default this tool returns the lightweight collection map (metadata + recursive itemRefs). Use the model parameter to opt in to Postman's full API responses:
model=minimal — root-level folder/request IDs only
model=full — full Postman collection payload.
