I used the old RequestBin - it was a great tool. But always returning 200 OK, was making it difficult for me to use. Some integrations/webhook need a specific response body otherwise they fail.
I ended up creating https://putsreq.com, so I could programmatically configure my responses.
Are you planning to allow custom responses in this new version of RequestBin?
Something that I learned with PutsReq: throttling is a must. PutsReq is very often "bombarded" with Salesforce webhook calls (probably because of some non-sense retry logic).
Thanks for the comment and we agree with the need for custom responses. We are working on a more advanced tool than RequestBin to solve this use case and hope to share it more broadly soon. We have been bombarded with webhook calls and intelligently handle throttling if necessary today.
Tod, one of the founders here. We are building a lot of integrations and are constantly testing webhooks / APIs.
RequestBin.com gives you a URL that collects requests you send it so you can inspect them in a human-friendly way. See what your HTTP client is sending or inspect and debug webhook requests.
We loved the old RequestBin written by Jeff Lindsay but it was subsequently acquired by Runscope, often unsupported and then shut down (https://github.com/Runscope/requestbin). So, we built a modern version of it, wanted to share it with the community and would love feedback.
Our new version has added functionality:
- optional authentication for private bins
- the ability to pause/filter the real-time event stream
- cleanly presents HTTP payloads (pretty-printing the JSON, XML, etc.) and query string parameters
- HTTPS endpoints that don't expire
- the ability to delete a single event or clear them all
- and, most importantly, a reliable infrastructure that should be up when you need it
In the last few months, RequestBin.com has been used by thousands of developers and is now in the docs for amazing apps such as Segment, Zapier, Coinbase, Intercom, Optimizely, Branch, Clearbit, Pipedrive and dozens more.
We think there’s a lot we can improve and are eager for feedback so please send us your ideas and opinions.
You should look at and rebuild a chrome extension that I wrote for requestb.in/ that allows you to open new bins faster. It shouldn't be too difficult to add in your login system.

I see these features:
- Pause and filter the real-time event stream
- Delete a single event or clear them all
feels unclear to me though, what they mean. E.g. "delete" = ... like deleting a request from Dev Tools? why would I want to do that? :- )
