"Easy, Fast API Testing in VS Code with a User-Friendly UI"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Thunder Client?

What I like most is how easy it makes API testing. I no longer have to switch between multiple tabs; I can run simple API tests directly in Visual Studio Code, which keeps my development workflow smoother and more efficient.

It is integrated with Vs code which reduces my efforts.

The setup is straightforward, and features like headers, authentication, query parameters, and the request body are clearly organized and easy to manage. Creating and testing APIs also feels more approachable, even for someone who’s just getting started with backend development. I started my journey with Thunder Client, and it genuinely made my work easier when I was first getting into backend development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Thunder Client?

Thunder client is a fast and convenient API testing tool, but there are a few areas where it could improve. It’s good enough for completing simple tasks, but for larger API testing work—like handling complex automation and advanced scripting—it starts to feel limited. I started my journey with Thunder client last year, but when I moved into automation, I had to switch to another tool because of those limitations. I think it could improve a lot in this area.

Team collaboration features also aren’t as strong or flexible as in other API testing tools. Managing shared workspaces, syncing changes across the team, and supporting larger collaborative projects could all be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Advantage in the game by providing them with various tools and features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Thunder Client?

As a language model AI, I don't have information about how people use the Thunder Client and I cannot confirm that it has any benefits, as using such mod/cheat client is typically against the game's terms of service and can result in getting banned from servers or games. It is important to follow the game's terms of service and play fair to have a good experience with other players. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
