Request Inbox
Debug webhooks without deploying anything
Request Inbox is an open-source tool for testing and debugging webhooks. It solves the problem of needing a reliable, temporary endpoint to receive and inspect HTTP requests during development, eliminating the need to deploy or configure a server just for testing.
The tool provides unique, live inbox URLs that capture every incoming request in full, including method, headers, body, and timing. Users can configure the status code, headers, and body the endpoint responds with, enabling them to test error handling and retry logic. Features include programmable responses, request forwarding with callbacks, private inboxes, API key management, a JSON viewer, auto-refresh, and an OpenAPI specification. It can be self-hosted via Docker.
Request Inbox is designed for developers who need to test integrations with services like Stripe or GitHub. It is free to use with no account required, and offers a sign-up option for private inboxes. The software is licensed under Apache 2.0.
