For example, In postman you can publish all endpoints as collections that can be shared between developers....

You can save requests to collections in Thunder Client also, you can share with your team by saving the requests data to git(see documentation on GitHub)

also you export a collection to json file.

You can generate code snippet too.

Did you know if there is any good tutorials on how to use it with OAuth2 authentication ?

Thanks Ranga! I think it's not my use case: the tutorial is using "Client Credentials" for the Grant type while, I think, I need to use "Authorization Code".

The app I'm trying to use is indeed using such code that I, then, need to pass back to the calling application. My redirect URL is using a "/saveCode" URI and, I think, I need to give him the generated code (once logged in).

I continue to try / search on Google...

OAuth2 - Authorization Code is also easy to test.

Can you create a new issue on our Github page, I will share some screenshots that might be helpful.

I've been long for such an extension for VSCode. A great tool to use to test web APIs.
