Getting started
Inspect webhooks live
in your browser
Set up a free, temporary webhook bin (no signup) to capture and inspect real HTTP payloads, headers, and timestamps without installing anything.
Quickstart in three steps
-
Create a free bin
Open the bin creator and complete the quick human check in your browser. You will receive two URLs, each with a different job.
Create a free bin- Ingest URL
- Paste this URL into your webhook sender.
https://YOUR_BIN.webhooks.page/ - Secret view URL
- Open this secret link in your browser to inspect requests.
https://view.webhooks.page/b/YOUR_BIN#YOUR_VIEW_KEY
Save the full view URL, including the key after
#. It is shown once, cannot be recovered, and lets anyone with it read the bin. -
Send a test request
Replace
YOUR_BINin the example curl command, then run it in your terminal. Or paste your ingest URL directly into your provider's webhook settings to trigger an event.Terminalcurl --request POST \ 'https://YOUR_BIN.webhooks.page/orders' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"event":"order.created","order_id":"ord_123"}' -
Inspect incoming data live
Open your secret view URL to watch requests arrive live. Select any request to inspect its method, path, headers, and arrival time, or download the body.
For the example above, look for a POST request to /orders with
order.createdin the body.Authorization and cookie headers are redacted automatically, but request bodies are not scrubbed. Always send test data.
Create bins with the API
Scripts, CI jobs, and AI agents can create a bin with a single request. No API key, signup, or browser check.
Create a bin
curl -X POST https://webhooks.sh/v1/bins
{
"bin": "7c2e9f4a1b8d4e3f9a6c0d5b2e8f1a47",
"ingest_url": "https://7c2e9f4a1b8d4e3f9a6c0d5b2e8f1a47.webhooks.page/",
"view_url": "https://view.webhooks.page/b/7c2e9f4a1b8d4e3f9a6c0d5b2e8f1a47#3b9d7e1f5a2c8e4d6b0f9a1c7e3d5b28",
"claim_url": "https://webhooks.sh/claim/7c2e9f4a1b8d4e3f9a6c0d5b2e8f1a47#key=e6a1c4f8b2d9e7a3c5f0b8d1a4e6c9f2",
"claim_urn": "urn:webhooks:claim:7c2e9f4a1b8d4e3f9a6c0d5b2e8f1a47:e6a1c4f8b2d9e7a3c5f0b8d1a4e6c9f2",
"expires_at": "2026-10-28T12:40:09.423Z",
"operator_guidance": "This bin self-destructs in 48h. Hand the claim link to your human operator..."
}
ingest_url- Point your webhook sender here. It accepts any method and path, and answers
200with adelivery_id. view_url- Secret link to the live viewer. The part after
#is the view key for the read API. claim_url- One-time link that lets a person keep the bin. Share it privately, because whoever claims it owns the bin.
expires_at- When the bin self-destructs: 48 hours after creation, unless someone claims it.
claim_urn,operator_guidance- The claim token in URN form, and a short note an agent can pass on to its user.
Send and read requests
Read routes live on https://view.webhooks.page and take the view key in an x-view-key header. This script creates a bin, sends it a request, and lists what arrived. It needs curl and jq.
bin_json=$(curl -s -X POST https://webhooks.sh/v1/bins)
bin=$(echo "$bin_json" | jq -r .bin)
view_key=$(echo "$bin_json" | jq -r '.view_url | split("#")[1]')
curl -s -X POST "https://$bin.webhooks.page/orders" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"event":"order.created","order_id":"ord_123"}'
sleep 15
curl -s "https://view.webhooks.page/api/bins/$bin/deliveries" \
--header "x-view-key: $view_key"
GET /api/bins/:bin/deliveries- The latest 10 requests, newest first, with method, path, query, content type, size, and arrival time. Older requests stay hidden until someone claims the bin;
bin.locked_countsays how many there are. GET /api/bins/:bin/deliveries/:id- One request with its headers and the body as
body_base64. Authorization, cookie, and other secret-looking headers are redacted. GET /api/bins/:bin/deliveries/:id/body- The raw body bytes as a file download.
The delivery_id returned by the ingest URL is the :id in these routes. Requests show up within a second, so poll the list until yours arrives.
Limits and errors
429 rate_limited,429 daily_cap- More than 5 bins per minute or 20 per day from one IP. Wait for the time in the
Retry-Afterheader. 413 body_too_large- The request body sent to the ingest URL is over 100KB.
403 invalid_view_key- The view key is missing or wrong, or the bin has expired.
429 daily_cap_reached- The bin received 100 requests today. The count resets at midnight UTC;
Retry-Aftersays how long that is.
Errors are JSON with a readable error and a stable code.
Keep a bin
Give the claim_url to a person privately. After a free Google sign-in, the timer stops and new requests keep a 30-day history in their dashboard. Claiming replaces the view key, so the old view_url stops working.
Agents can read this reference as plain text at /llms.txt.

Free bins for quick tests
- 48 hours
- Bin access from creation
- 100
- Requests per day
- 100KB
- Maximum request body
Free access ends after 48 hours unless the bin is claimed. Download needed payloads before expiration, as creating a new bin will not extend an existing one.

Claim a bin from its view page before the timer ends to keep it: the self-destruct stops and new captures get a 30-day rolling history. Requests captured before claiming keep their original expiry — claiming is not retroactive. Unclaimed bins are anonymous, and their viewer shows only the latest 10 requests.
If nothing arrives, confirm your sender targets the ingest URL, your viewer link includes the view key, and the bin has not expired or reached its limits.
Need a URL that lasts? Solo gives you named, persistent endpoints for $12/month.
Already have a paid workspace?
Sign in to your existing workspace account. The v1 API and the wsh CLI below work with Solo endpoints; free bins use their secret view key instead.
Read requests with the workspace API
Send requests to https://webhooks.sh with a workspace API key that has the read scope.
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
GET /v1/endpoints?slug=YOUR_ENDPOINT- Find a paid endpoint by its exact slug within your key's workspace.
GET /v1/endpoints/:id/deliveries- List deliveries, newest first. Use
limitfrom 1 to 100 and pass the returnednext_cursorascursorfor the next page. GET /v1/deliveries/:id- Read a delivery's metadata and redacted headers.
GET /v1/deliveries/:id/body- Download the captured request body as bytes.
Relay and replay to localhost with the CLI
The wsh CLI needs Node.js 20 or newer and an API key with the read, write, and relay scopes.
npm install -g https://webhooks.sh/cli/wsh.tgz
wsh auth login
wsh listen YOUR_ENDPOINT --to localhost:3000
wsh replay DELIVERY_ID
wsh listen relays new deliveries to your machine as they arrive and picks up where it left off after a restart. wsh replay sends a stored delivery again through a running listen; over HTTP that is POST /v1/deliveries/:id/replay. Your handler should dedupe on the X-Webhooks-Delivery header.
Forward deliveries to your own HTTPS URL
Add up to 3 targets per endpoint in the dashboard, or with POST /v1/endpoints/:id/targets and {"url": "https://..."} using a key with the write and relay scopes. Targets must be public HTTPS URLs on port 443.
A target turns on once it passes a check: we send a POST with an X-Webhooks-Challenge header, and your server answers with a 2xx whose body is that value, or {"challenge": "..."}.
From then on, every request the endpoint captures goes to each target with its original method, body and headers (credentials removed), plus X-Webhooks-Delivery and X-Webhooks-Signature: t=...,kid=...,v1=.... The workspace owner can copy the signing secret from the dashboard; verify like this:
import { createHmac, timingSafeEqual } from "node:crypto";
function verifyWebhooksSignature(headers, rawBody, secretHex) {
const parts = Object.fromEntries(headers["x-webhooks-signature"].split(",").map((part) => part.split("=")));
const expected = createHmac("sha256", Buffer.from(secretHex, "hex"))
.update(`wsh-v1.${parts.t}.${headers["x-webhooks-delivery"]}.`)
.update(rawBody)
.digest();
const given = Buffer.from(parts.v1 ?? "", "hex");
const fresh = Math.abs(Date.now() / 1000 - Number(parts.t)) <= 300;
return fresh && given.length === expected.length && timingSafeEqual(given, expected);
}
Any 2xx counts as delivered. Network errors, timeouts (15 seconds), 408, 429 and 5xx get up to 3 attempts within an hour; other statuses and redirects are final. GET /v1/deliveries/:id lists every attempt under forwards, and POST /v1/forwards/:id/retry sends a waiting one now. Truncated captures and ones your signature check quarantines are never forwarded.
