Webhook Tester — Capture & Inspect Incoming Requests
Create a capture URL, receive callbacks, and inspect payloads with auto-poll and curl export
How to use this webhook tester tool
- Click Create webhook endpoint to generate a unique capture ID and URL.
- Copy the webhook URL into your third-party service webhook settings.
- Trigger an event from the sender — payment, push, form submit, etc.
- Requests appear in the sidebar; auto-poll keeps the list updated every 3 seconds.
- Select a request and switch between Body, Headers, Query, and Curl tabs.
- Use Clear to wipe captured requests or Copy curl to replay locally.
About this webhook tester tool
Webhooks push event data to your server when something happens — a payment completes, a repository updates, or a form is submitted. Debugging integrations is painful when you cannot see the exact payload the sender delivers. A webhook tester gives you a temporary URL that records every incoming request so you can verify shape, headers, and signatures before wiring your own handler.
VSPIC webhook tester creates a unique HTTPS capture endpoint on our domain. Copy the URL into Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, or any service that supports outbound webhooks, trigger an event, and watch requests appear in the inspector. Auto-poll refreshes every three seconds, or refresh manually. Inspect body, headers, and query parameters in separate tabs, generate a curl command to replay the request, and clear history when starting a new test.
Endpoints expire after one hour and storage is in-memory — ideal for development and staging debug, not production traffic with sensitive data.
Why use VSPIC for webhook tester?
- One-click temporary HTTPS webhook URL.
- Auto-poll every 3 seconds or manual refresh.
- Request history with method and timestamp sidebar.
- Separate Body, Headers, Query, and Curl tabs.
- Copy curl command to replay exact payload.
- Clear captured requests without creating a new endpoint.
- 1-hour expiry with countdown display.
Why webhook capture helps
Integrations fail when signature verification, JSON schema, or header expectations mismatch. Seeing exact inbound payload before your app processes it isolates provider versus handler bugs.
Temporary endpoint lifecycle
Capture ids are ephemeral — suitable for development debugging not production permanent endpoints. Rotate to your own HTTPS URL before go-live.
Polling model
Refresh Requests pulls current buffer — not websocket live stream. Click refresh after triggering remote event allowing delivery latency.
Security of shared capture URLs
Anyone with URL can POST — do not send production secrets to shared tester long term. Treat captured payloads as sensitive if they contain PII.
Signature verification testing
Inspect header carrying signature then reproduce HMAC in local script — tester shows raw material needed for validation unit tests.
Comparison to local tunnel tools
Local tunnels expose laptop directly. Cloud capture works when developer machine firewalled or CI pipeline needs send-only callback target.
Multiple requests
List shows history of captures on same id — replay ordering for idempotency key testing.
HTTP methods
Primarily POST use case — other verbs depend on capture implementation accepting generic requests.
Payload size limits
Very large bodies may truncate or reject — check error on refresh if provider sends big attachments.
Pair with HTTP method tester
After inspecting inbound shape, use HTTP method tester to replay modified payload toward your staging API manually.
Important notes & limitations
- In-memory storage — data lost on server restart.
- Endpoints expire after one hour.
- Anyone with the URL can POST — do not use for production secrets long term.
- Not a live WebSocket stream — uses polling.
- Very large payloads may be truncated or rejected.

Yes. When enabled, the page polls every 3 seconds while the tab is open.
Open the Curl tab and copy the generated command to replay from your terminal against any URL.
Yes. All request headers are captured for HMAC and signature verification testing.
No. Use your own secured endpoint for production. This tool is for development debugging only.
Any method sent to the capture URL — POST, PUT, PATCH, GET, etc.
Anyone with the URL can send requests to it. Create separate endpoints per developer or test.
The bucket expired after one hour, the server restarted, or you clicked Clear.
