PostCatcher lets you debug webhooks by capturing and logging the asynchronous requests made when events happen. Create a PostCatcher and register the URL with a webhook triggerer. All POST requests to the URL are logged for you to see when you browse to that URL.

adinardiGreat stuff. Useful too. It’s been done a number of times before and I don’t see anything notably unique or different. Live updating was a nice touch. I’d definitely use this in the future when I need a debug endpoint. | |||
felixgeThis will probably replace postbin.org for me in the future. Well executed app and nice design. I don’t care if it’s twitter bootstrap – building on other people’s work is key for NKO, especially if you’re just one person. | |||

b00giZmOkay, I think I got it – This app acts as a kind of proxy which catches events from external apps. This would be a pretty nifty tool, if there would be some API my app could poll during development to access those caught events. Seeing these events appear in realtime on my dashboard is nice, but it’s not that helpful during development. Also: What’s the purpose of the “More” button? It seems to trigger a GET request but only returns an empty array. The UI design is pure Twitter bootstrap. No points for that – sorry ;) | |||
“More” button is for pagination. It loads older items if they exists.
Thanks for vote!
trycatcherA nice 48h project. Works as specified. I can’t imagine ever wanting to use this. Still, good work :) | |||
I think I’ll be using this service after knockout ends if you keep it online. Please let me know. | |||
allancaVery useful. Like that you can see the requests immediately with no refresh. | |||
therazorbladeCould be useful. Most of the time I need something to debug messages there is an authentication layer involved (OAuth) and this might not provide enough flexibility. But it probably would have helped debug a few node bugs in the past. | |||
This is hosted service for developers for testing webhooks For example if your app contacts any external app via POST requests, you can send these request to PostCatcher during development to see if the request is alright and.
therazorbladeUpdated review.
I tried it my self for debugging purposes, I wanted to see if unicodes where correctly posted using my HTML form, but the only thing I saw where the headers. It also wasn’t directly obvious what would happen if we posted, should we stay on the page, refresh or just wait for something.. On page instructions would have been nice to have. But I haven’t seen any projects like this.. As for the design it’s almost 100% Twitter bootstrap, while it’s a awesome it would be nice if you had taken the time to implement some crosses fingers that you won’t pass my entry ;D | |||
chrismatthieuI <3 this app! | |||
Thanks!
Could definitely be useful. Seen similar ideas before though. A little more elbow grease and this would be something I would add to my toolbelt. | |||
could see myself using this in the future during development/debugging. | |||
Awesome, thanks!
Thanks for a vote!
iapainIt’s fun service, it could be nice if you could evolve your approach to a hook based system. Though there are couple of bugs, if post data is not json then you get error, also logout doesn’t work properly. Cool work done in less than 48h. | |||
Thanks! I will be working on bugs.
ssorokaFound a bug when I passed json keys that weren’t quoted. Otherwise very useful. well done | |||
Thanks!
Well done. It’s not the most original but I loved discovering it updates live as new POSTs are sent. It’d be awesome if this proxied requests to their real destination to act as a logger/analyzer during development. | |||
Yes, there will be proxied requests. Thanks for a vote!
Why only posts? No gets? And would be nice to specify a response too, for running tests. | |||
Specify response – great idea! Thanks!
voodootikigodDon’t understand the point or value proposition over existing in-browser network traces. If just test post events to an API, I still don’t see any value in this. Adding redirect or traceback would be a massive improvement so that this could essentially be a MITM packet trace for web transactions, but for now its not there and doesn’t seem to be walking that path. | |||
Useful for me | |||
This has potential for being a really useful service. Unfortunately when I clicked more after the example code, I received an internal server error. I like the color scheme and overall design. It’s intuitive and looks like it will be easy to use. | |||
Very nice! I can imagine myself using this a lot!
