Create an Endpoint

A debug endpoint is a URL that captures all incoming HTTP requests for inspection.

From the dashboard​

  1. Open the Webhook Inspector dashboard
  2. Click New Endpoint
  3. Enter a name (e.g., "Stripe Webhooks")
  4. Optionally set a custom slug (e.g., stripe-webhooks)
  5. Click Create

Your endpoint URL is:

https://app.hooklistener.com/w/<slug>

From the CLI​

hooklistener endpoint create "Stripe Webhooks" --slug stripe-webhooks

From the API​

curl -X POST https://app.hooklistener.com/api/v1/endpoints \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer hklst_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "debug_endpoint": {
      "name": "Stripe Webhooks",
      "slug": "stripe-webhooks"
    }
  }'

  -d '{"type": "payment_intent.succeeded"}'

  -H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
  -d '<event>updated</event>'

Requests to any sub-path are also captured:
