A web tool that records incoming HTTP requests and returns fake responses you define in JavaScript.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as PutsReq.
Webhook.site
A web service that gives you a unique URL and email address to inspect incoming requests.
Webhook.site captures HTTP requests, emails and DNS lookups and adds a visual workflow editor, but free URLs expire and permanent URLs need a paid upgrade.
Beeceptor
A web service for creating mock API servers and inspecting incoming webhook requests in real time.
Beeceptor provides mock servers with live request inspection and imports OpenAPI, GraphQL, gRPC and SOAP definitions, but advanced features require paid plans.
Request Catcher
A web tool that gives you a subdomain and shows every HTTP request sent to it live.
Request Catcher shows requests to a chosen subdomain live in the browser, but it only records requests and cannot return scripted responses like PutsReq.
Mockbin
A free web tool that creates mock API endpoints with fixed responses and logs requests to them.
Mockbin is open source and creates mock endpoints from OpenAPI documents with request inspection, but responses are fixed rather than scripted in JavaScript.
Hookdeck Console
A free web tool for receiving, inspecting, replaying and saving webhook and HTTP request events.
Hookdeck Console is free and adds replay and saving of received events, but custom scripted responses are not mentioned among its features.
WebHook Tester
A self-hosted tool for testing and debugging webhooks and HTTP requests on randomly generated URLs.
WebHook Tester runs on your own server so payloads stay in-house, with customisable response codes, but captured requests are held only in memory.
TypedWebhook.tools
A webhook testing tool that logs requests and generates TypeScript types and schemas from payloads.
TypedWebhook.tools logs requests and generates TypeScript types, CUE and JSON Schema from payloads, but it has no forwarding or custom response scripting.
