RequestBin
RequestBin is an HTTP request inspector and webhook testing tool for capturing, inspecting, replaying, and forwarding webhooks. It gives developers temporary request bin URLs that collect incoming HTTP requests so they can analyze what clients, APIs, and third-party services are sending without writing custom debugging code. It is built for real-time HTTP request inspection, webhook debugging, and API integration testing, making it easier to view captured data such as headers, payloads, query strings, JSON, XML, and form data in a human-readable way. RequestBin supports both local and cloud storage options, allowing users to decide how they want captured requests handled during testing and development. Its documentation covers bins, request replay, forwarding rules, mock APIs, API keys, MCP server support, and developer tools for HTTP debugging and API development.
