Webhook.site

Webhook.site gives you a temporary internet address that receives requests and displays what arrived. It helps you understand an event message before you build a receiver in your app.

What can you see when an event arrives?

A webhook is a message one service sends when something happens. Webhook.site can act as the receiving address and show you the details that arrived. A delivery visible there answers whether a message reached this address. It does not show whether your app can process it.

Who can see the captured request?

The vendor says the free version operates without a login, and anyone who knows the URL ID can view the data. Use fictional details only. Keep real payment notices, customer details and credentials out of a free capture, including data a sender might add automatically.

What expires, and what can you take with you?

The vendor says free URLs and their data expire after seven days. Free intake also has a request cap. Paid subscriptions add account protection and CSV export, with retained history limits by plan.

A CSV is a table of captured records. Inspect it before sharing. Save the example message and your field notes separately so your own receiver design does not depend on the capture URL.

Which parts of a webhook message would your app use?

On paper, draft a fictional “reservation moved” notice. Decide which details your app would need to show the right booking time.

  1. Pick three useful fields
    Write a made-up reservation reference, the new time and a made-up event reference.
  2. Compare two examples
    One message has the new time. The other is missing it. Describe which one would be ready to show and which needs a closer look.
  3. Keep a clean reference
    Save just the fictional examples and your notes. They are enough to explain the expected shape without opening a public capture address.
