Hooklistener Documentation

Hooklistener is a developer platform for inspecting, debugging, and testing webhooks, emails, and real-time connections. It gives you instant visibility into HTTP requests hitting your endpoints, tools to replay and forward them, uptime monitoring with public status pages, and a CLI that brings everything to your terminal.

What can you do with Hooklistener?​

Webhook Inspector​

Create debug endpoints that capture every incoming HTTP request. Inspect headers, bodies, and query parameters in real time. Set up mock responses, replay requests to your local server, save replay cases, share requests with teammates, and export data for analysis.

Get started with webhooks →

Email Testing​

Generate test inboxes at hookinbox.com that capture inbound emails. View email content, headers, and attachments without setting up a mail server.

Uptime Monitoring​

Monitor your APIs and websites with configurable health checks. Get email alerts when services go down and create public status pages to keep users informed.

Configure monitoring →

Socket Debugging​

Debug WebSocket, Socket.IO, and MQTT connections in real time. Inspect frames, messages, and connection lifecycle events.

Debug sockets →

CLI​

A fast, Rust-based CLI for managing endpoints, forwarding webhooks to localhost, and exposing local servers with HTTP tunnels. Includes an interactive terminal UI with search, filtering, and request replay.
