how to convert curl command into postman

Question

I am going to use mailgun api.

Here is the cRUL command working in terminal properly.

curl -s --user 'api:key-...' \
    https://api.mailgun.net/v3/DomainName/messages \
    -F from='Excited User <mailgun@DomainName>' \
    -F to=me@outlook.com \
    -F subject='Hello' \
    -F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomness!'

I can't make sense how I can run this command using Postman.

I tried to import cURL command into Postman but it doesn't import api:key. I really can't understand how I can import this api key into Postman to run the api properly.

Please help me to run this command using Postman.

Thank you!

Have you tried placing it in the headers as a key and value pair? — Ray, Sep 25 '17 at 02:29

For whoever wants to create the Postman request manually:

The --user (or -u) translates in Postman into Basic Auth Username and Password fields, which you find under the Authorization request nav option:

The -F (for form params) you add under Body request nav option, with x-www-form-urlencoded or form-data selected (if not sure which, check this question):

Try importing it like this

curl https://api:key@api.mailgun.net/v3/DomainName/messages \
    -F from='Excited User <mailgun@DomainName>' \
    -F to=me@outlook.com \
    -F subject='Hello' \
    -F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomness!'
