import from URL doesn't work anymore #10648

mzatko · 2022-02-09T16:32:58Z

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Describe the Issue

collection/API json import from URL stopped working in postman version 9.13 (maybe little earlier)
with message: "error while fetching data from link", It looks like it doesn't care about what you enter as URL
Now I need to download from exactly same URL (using postman e.g.) into a file and import it from the file afterwards

It definitely worked directly from URL few weeks ago

Steps To Reproduce

click API(or Collections)
click Import
click Link
insert link to valid OpenAPI definition online(json, yaml, doesn't matter)
click Continue

"Error while fetching data from link is shown"

Message is shown regardless what you enter as URL, you can even leave it empty

Environment Information

- Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 LTE (upgraded to newest)
- Platform Type: Native App

Hey @mzatko! We are able to reproduce this issue and have started work on a fix, it will be out soon. Although, we are able to import JSON links successfully, this: https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json for example.

Could you share any links that don't work for you? (For json and/or yaml)

Hello everyone!
I have the same trouble. When i'm trying to import a WSDL file, i get this error.

Environment Information

- Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 21H2, 19044.1586
- Platform Type: Desktop App
- Postman Version: 9.15.6 (it's the latest verison)

umeshp7 · 2022-03-31T07:33:34Z

@GeorgeExplorer Could share the details about how you are trying to import this WSDL? If you have a link could you share it with us? Also, if you could share the error that you are getting here.

We recently fixed this issue where links were not imported for non-json type data. Also, I tried it in the latest app on the web and it seems to be importing links from yaml, xml well.

@umeshp7 I'm trying to import this WSDL http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx?WSDL and I'm getting this error "Error while fetching data from link."

umeshp7 · 2022-04-01T14:05:19Z

@AvanCodeDev Thanks for sharing that. I am able to reproduce it on the Desktop App. Although as a workaround, I would suggest you try doing this from the web browser. Here is a video of that link importing from Postman for Web.

Meanwhile, we'll take a look into this issue internally and update the thread with the progress.

I still have the same problem in the dekstop app at a Macbook. I am at version Version 9.17.1 UI Version: 9.17.1-ui-220427-0630 Desktop Platform Version: 9.16.0 (9.16.0)
Should I switch over to Insomnia?

umeshp7 · 2022-05-01T15:17:01Z

@GeorgeExplorer @brandsr prioritizing this. We'll have an update for you in a week. Thanks for understanding.

Meanwhile, as a workaround to unblock you. Please copy-paste the content from the link through "Raw text" and import your WSDL in postman. 🙇🏼

DanRos84 · 2022-05-01T17:43:52Z

Hello everyone! I have the same issue...and I will be wating for your update!! Thanks in advance.

STK1321 · 2022-05-25T17:20:36Z

Hello I replicated the same issue :C

umeshp7 · 2022-05-25T19:17:06Z

@STK1321 @DanRos84 We have recently merged a fix for this in the recent app. Could try to update the app and try it out again and let us know if you are still facing any issues?

cc @sairam459

sairam459 · 2022-05-26T06:55:25Z

@STK1321 @DanRos84 Please update postman app to the latest version (Version 9.20.1). We have recently released a fix for this issue. Please let us if you are facing the issue after updating the app.

GeorgeExplorer · 2022-05-27T14:30:42Z

@STK1321 @DanRos84 Please update postman app to the latest version (Version 9.20.1). We have recently released a fix for this issue. Please let us if you are facing the issue after updating the app.

Hi, Sairam. Tell me pls, how can i install this version? My postman desktop client shows me the latest version as 19.9.3 (look at screen)

jelen07 · 2022-05-31T12:00:24Z

Hi, I have an issue when trying to import http://167.71.46.104:8888/api/v1/openapi with the toast Error while fetching data from link. Other links work well (https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/swagger.json).

Version 9.19.3
UI Version: 9.19.3-ui-220518-1430
Desktop Platform Version: 9.19.0 (9.19.0)

umeshp7 · 2022-06-01T08:34:12Z

@jelen07 Seems like the v9.20.x is currently under a slow rollout. Sorry for the inconvenience but we will update this ticket when its availability is 100%.
This is an issue with unsecured URLs which is blocked at the browser level. Which we have fixed in the upcoming version of the desktop app.

Meanwhile, to unblock yourself, you could use the 'Raw text' way to import by pasting the OpenAPI content. Or you could use the Postman on Web to import this URL.

Hi, Sairam. Tell me pls, how can i install this version? My postman desktop client shows me the latest version as 19.9.3 (look at screen)

@umeshp7 Could you answer me pls on the question above? I can't find the version 9.20.1
UPD. Sorry, i read the reply to @jelen07 from you above and also got my question's answer

Regards you

jelen07 · 2022-06-01T12:57:30Z

@umeshp7 Thanks for the info. Maybe some better error message would be more appropriate. Already imported via raw text 👍

Jonnygeneral33 · 2022-06-21T11:37:43Z

@umeshp7 I encountered the same issues trying to import through link, I gave raw text a go and that even didn't work . Wondering if the propose fix has been rollout yet?

umeshp7 · 2022-08-02T05:56:48Z

The issue with Importing via link has been fixed and in production.

@Jonnygeneral33 Seems like the content you are trying to import could be invalid to be imported in Postman.
Could you share a bit more info around this?

What is the error you are receiving? (in both link and Raw)
What version of app you are on?
If possible, could you share the content you are trying to import? You can share it via help@postman.com as well. Just provide the context of this Github thread.

Thank you!

franciscosamuel · 2022-08-16T17:40:24Z

This was happening to me as well.
I was able to replicate using the following steps (Windows 11 + .NET 6.0 required)

Unzip WebApplication2.zip (attached)
Add the following entry to the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts):
127.0.0.1 testdns
Add the testdns and localhost bindings to IIS's Default Web Site
Point IIS's Default Web Site to the folder containing the contents of WebApplication2.zip
Try to import the following 2 Links to Postman (both should work, but only the second one does):
5.1. http://testdns/swagger/v1/swagger.json
5.2. http://localhost/swagger/v1/swagger.json

WebApplication2.zip

akshaydeo · 2022-08-17T14:57:30Z

@franciscosamuel could you try 0.0.0.0 testdns instead of 127.0.0.1 testdns in hosts?

akshaydeo · 2022-11-21T08:28:24Z

@franciscosamuel, I am closing this ticket for now. Please re-open if my earlier suggestion doesn't help to resolve the issue 🙇‍♂️
