You can actually do it your own in a fairly easy way (especially if you rely on a CI), whenever you sync your API to a remote Git, it creates a .insomnia folder, where inside it automatically creates an ApiSpec folder, inside there's one .yaml file for each one of your API specs.
The good news is: each .yaml is elaborated in such a consistent way that if you exclude the first 3 lines and the last 5 lines of every .yaml file inside .insomnia/ApiSpec/, you'll obtain an OpenAPI compatible file.

I think a simple JS editor can be done meanwhile, but I rather see that implemented as an actual feature...

That will be awesome while swaggymniav is a decent solution currently.

I tried swaggymnia but it is not working with Insomnia v4 and the latest insomnia is only allowing to export in Insomnia v4. Any idea how to proceed?

While Insomnia currently doesn't generate an OpenAPI spec (and I agree it would be a useful feature), just chiming in that we've recently released inso, a companion CLI through which you can export the spec written in designer into a file (as an alternative to the comment quoted). 😄

inso export spec specName -o output.yaml

I've created a very basic npm package here which may suit the needs. Can someone give it a try. Its an early release and thus not a cli usable package, but it does borrow some of the items from swaggymnia

The fragmentation on this project is a bit worrying and confusing.

With that out of the way, I'm making it clear: I'd love to have this included itself on the Insomnia Core application. Other than the (currently unusable) npm package mentioned above, has there been any progress on this?

[develohpanda]

Hi @NickAcPT - there was some confusion with the comments/questions and the original feature request here, so I cleared that in my comment above. However, the original feature request currently does not have an progress.

I believe there are enough plugin APIs available in order to create a plugin for Insomnia Core to be able to achieve this.

[HeathNaylor]

Is there any progress on this? I would expect to see OpenAPI as a drop down option when exporting from Insomnia. This would be a huge win over Postman currently. Right now if I want to even get close to generating library code from a non-openapi format (Postman Collection or Insomnia) I have to use something like apimatic.io to transform it, no other tools seem to work.

[develohpanda]

Hi @HeathNaylor, unfortunately no progress yet but it may be possible to create a plugin to use apimatic.io in the meantime 👀

Adding this natively is on the roadmap but not in the immediate future as far as I know.

[codeasashu]

Hi @NickAcPT I am sorry the plugin didn't worked out for you. Let me fix it and get back I've fixed the plugin and added a test for very basic functionality: https://www.npmjs.com/package/insomnia-oas-converter

If you can, please file an issue so I can continue making package better.
