Mock Webhook Endpoint
Create a mock webhook endpoint in seconds. Capture every HTTP request, configure custom responses, and test your integrations without deploying a server.
What is a Mock Webhook Endpoint?
A mock webhook endpoint is a temporary, publicly accessible URL that acts as a stand-in for your production webhook handler. It accepts any HTTP request (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), logs the full request details, and returns a configurable response.
Mock endpoints are essential during the early stages of integration development. Before you write a single line of handler code, you can use a mock endpoint to discover the exact payload structure your webhook provider sends. This "payload-first" development approach saves hours of guesswork and documentation diving.
Unlike deploying a real server with a framework like Express, Flask, or Rails just to receive a test webhook, a mock endpoint is ready instantly. No code, no deployment, no DNS configuration. Just a URL that captures everything.
Why Use a Mock Webhook Endpoint?
๐ Discover Payload Structures
See the exact JSON or form data that a webhook provider sends. Documentation is often incomplete or outdated โ a mock endpoint shows you the real data.
๐งช Test Before Coding
Understand the webhook data model before writing handler code. Design your database schema, validation logic, and business rules based on actual payloads.
๐ Generate Test Fixtures
Capture real payloads and save them as JSON test fixtures. Use these fixtures in your unit tests and CI/CD pipeline for reliable, realistic testing.
๐ง Prototype Integrations
Quickly validate that a third-party service can successfully deliver webhooks before investing time in building a full integration.
๐ Debug Production Issues
Temporarily redirect production webhooks to your mock endpoint to inspect payloads when your actual handler is returning errors.
How to Create a Mock Endpoint

Configure Response Behavior
Click "Edit Response Settings" to set custom status codes, response bodies, and delays.
Point Your Provider to the Mock URL
Paste the URL into any webhook provider's settings. Works with Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Slack, and more.
Trigger Events & Inspect
Trigger webhook events and inspect every captured request in real-time with full detail views.
Quick Test with cURL
You can also test your mock endpoint directly with cURL:
# Send a POST request to your mock endpoint
curl -X POST https://api.requex.me/hook/your-unique-id \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"event":"order.created","order_id":"12345","amount":99.99}'
# Send a PUT request
curl -X PUT https://api.requex.me/hook/your-unique-id \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"status":"updated"}'
# Send with custom headers
curl -X POST https://api.requex.me/hook/your-unique-id \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Custom-Header: my-value" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer test-token" \
-d '{"test": true}'Mock Endpoint vs Real Server
| Aspect | Mock Endpoint | Real Server |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Time | Instant | Hours to days |
| Code Required | None | Full server + handler |
| Deployment | None | Cloud hosting needed |
| Custom Logic | Basic (status/body) | Full programmability |
| Best For | Discovery & debugging | Production use |
