Hi.

For now we have 2 ways to access our APIs: oAuth (mobile) or cookies (web).

In Postman we have created 2 collections: one using oAuth and the other one using cookies.

 ![Capture d’écran 2023-01-11 à 11.40.57](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/0/4/04a5c85e513d9a4c4b14b14c7d3759088818f07d.png)

So we have duplicate all APIs in both collections.

Is there a way to have only one collection capable to use oAuth or cookies on demand?

Many thanks for Your help.

Hi @thegdz.net,

You should be able to use “Authorization” and “Cookies” at collection level to inherit the same for all requests in that collection.

More details are below:

- [Using cookies | Postman Learning Center](https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/cookies/#creating-cookies-programmatically)
- [Authorizing requests | Postman Learning Center](https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/authorization/#inheriting-authorization)
