Download tool : load a request from postman/bruno collection

Hello all,


As you all know, you can use API with the Alteryx Download tool. However, this tool is not that easy to configure.
On the other hand, the API world use a lot tools such as Postman  or Bruno (an open source clone) which allows easy test, debug... I use it everytime I had to work on a rest API and then I try to translate it to the final tool (such as the Alteryx Download tool). Both tools offer "collection", a set of request, and also environment configuration. Here are some examples on the project I'm working on :

And you can even get some code

I would like to leverage those collections in my download tool configuration, that would be quite easier to use !

Best regards,

Simon

The way I see that would be a "load" collection file, load optionnaly an environment file and after you can pick a query and if an environment file is provided, it translates the variable in the query
