With Webhook.site, you instantly get a unique, random URL that you can use to test and debug Webhooks and HTTP requests, as well as to create your own workflows using the Custom Actions graphical editor or WebhookScript, a simple scripting language, to transform, validate and process HTTP requests.
What are people using it for?
- Receive Webhooks without needing an internet-facing Web server
- Send Webhooks to a server that’s behind a firewall or private subnet
- Transforming Webhooks into other formats, and re-sending them to different systems
- Connect different APIs that aren’t compatible
- Building contact forms that send emails
- Instantly build APIs without needing infrastructure

Open Source
There are two versions of Webhook.site:
-
The completely open-source, MIT-licensed version is available on Github, which can be self-hosted using e.g. Docker, is great for testing Webhooks, but doesn’t include features like Custom Actions.
-
The cloud version at https://webhook.site which has more features, some of them requiring a paid subscription.
