Install Orbittest Client

Download

Orbittest Client ships as a signed Windows installer. Grab the latest build and run it — the app auto-updates from then on, checking GitHub Releases and installing new versions in the background.

Download for Windows

orbittest_client.exe · Windows 10/11 · auto-updating

Install

Run the downloaded orbittest_client.exe installer.
If Windows SmartScreen appears, choose More info → Run anyway (the installer is signed; SmartScreen reputation builds over time as more people install it).
Follow the prompts. Orbittest Client installs per-user and adds a Start-menu shortcut.
Launch Orbittest Client from the Start menu.

The first time it launches, Orbittest Client creates a sample workspace with a few example requests so you have something to click around in. Your workspace lives at Documents/Orbittest/workspace.json.

Send your first request

Let’s read a real piece of data from a free public API.

In the sidebar, click the example request named Health Check (or click the + on a collection to make a new one).
In the center, make sure the method is GET and the URL reads:
```
https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/1
```
Click the green Send button (or press Ctrl+Enter).
The Response area at the bottom fills in: a green 200 OK badge, how long it took and how big the reply was, and the data itself, neatly formatted with colors and line numbers.

🎉 That’s a complete request. Everything in the User Guide builds on these same steps.

Activate a license (optional)

Orbittest Client is fully usable for free. To unlock Pro features — unlimited collections, HTML/JSON run reports, and the Ghost mock server — activate a key in-app under Settings → License. Keys are verified entirely offline and bound to your machine; an expired key gracefully drops the app back to Free without interrupting your work.

Requirements

OS: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
Disk: ~250 MB
Network: only needed to reach the APIs you test and to fetch auto-updates — Orbittest Client itself sends no telemetry.
