API Examples¶
If you have a Webhook.site account, before using the API, please first create an API key here. The examples below can also be used without an account, but in that case you should remove the API key header.

cURL¶
Create Token (URL/Email Address)¶
A Token (also called a URL) is a container for incoming requests. The UUID is used in your Webhook.site URL. More info

Send file to URL¶
Uploads the file example.png from the current directory.
To download the file, click the Download link in the Webhook.site interface, or via the API, use the download endpoint.
Python¶
Fetch latest data¶
Requires the requests module, which can be installed using pip install requests.
Prints the 50 latest requests sent to a given URL to console.
import requests
token_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
headers = {"api-key": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"}
r = requests.get('https://webhook.site/token/'+ token_id +'/requests?sorting=newest', headers=headers)
for request in r.json()['data']:
print(request)
Create Token (URL/Email Address)¶
Requires the requests module, which can be installed using pip install requests.
You'll also need to replace the API key.
import requests
json = {
"default_status": 200,
"default_content": "Hello world!",
"default_content_type": "text/html",
}
headers = {
"api-key": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}
r = requests.post('https://webhook.site/token', json=json, headers=headers)
print('URL Created: https://webhook.site/' + r.json()['uuid'])
Download all request data as files¶
Per default, this script will download files as <request_id>.json in the requests directory relative to the current folder.
You'll need to install the dependency requests, e.g. by running pip3 install requests.
import os
import json
import requests
from time import sleep
directory = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'requests')
token_id = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
# Uncomment if using an API key
# api_key = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'
if not os.path.isdir(directory) or not os.access(directory, os.W_OK):
raise Exception(f"{directory} not writable, directory missing or rights issue.")
headers = {'Accept': 'application/json'}
if 'api_key' in vars():
headers['Api-Key'] = api_key
page = 1
while True:
url = f"https://webhook.site/token/{token_id}/requests?sorting=newest&page={page}"
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()
for req in response['data']:
file_path = os.path.join(directory, f"{req['uuid']}.json")
with open(file_path, 'w') as f:
f.write(req['content'])
print(f"[Page {page:3}] Downloaded request {req['uuid']} sent at {req['created_at']} ({req['size']} bytes)")
if response['is_last_page'] or not response['data']:
break
page += 1
sleep(1)
PHP¶
Create Token (URL/Email Address)¶
Creates a Webhook.site Token and outputs its Web URL. You'll need to replace the API key.
<?php
$apiKey = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
// Create a stream context
$context = stream_context_create(['http' => [
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => "Api-Key: $apiKey\r\n"
]]);
// Send API request
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://webhook.site/token', false, $context), true);
echo "URL Created: https://webhook.site/{$response['uuid']}";
Fetch latest data¶
Simple example of how to loop through the latest requests or emails sent to a Webhook.site URL or email and display in a friendly manner.
You'll need to replace the API key (if you have a Webhook.site account, otherwise leave it out) and token ID.
<?php
$apiKey = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
$tokenId = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
$url = "https://webhook.site/token/$tokenId/requests?sorting=newest";
$context = stream_context_create(['http' => ['header' => "Api-Key: $apiKey\r\n"]]);
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents($url, false, $context), true);
foreach ($response['data'] as $req) {
echo "\n";
echo json_encode([
'method' => $req['method'],
'body' => $req['content'],
'date' => $req['created_at'],
], \JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
}
Example output when running the script after running e.g. curl -X POST https://webhook.site/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 -d "Hello world":
{
"method": "POST",
"body": "Hello world",
"date": "2023-06-08 13:04:33"
}
{
"method": "POST",
"body": "just testing",
"date": "2023-06-08 13:03:57"
}
Download all request data as files¶
Per default, this script saves the body content of all requests or emails sent to a URL as .json files in the /requests directory relative to the script file location.
<?php
$directory = __DIR__ . '/requests';
//$apiKey = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
$tokenId = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
if (!is_dir($directory) || !is_writable($directory)) {
throw new Exception(sprintf('%s not writable, directory missing or rights issue.', $directory));
}
$context = stream_context_create(['http' =>
isset($apiKey) ? ['header' => "Api-Key: $apiKey\r\n"] : [],
]);
$page = 1;
do {
$url = sprintf('https://webhook.site/token/%s/requests?sorting=newest&page=%d', $tokenId, $page);
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents($url, false, $context), true);
foreach ($response['data'] as $req) {
file_put_contents(
sprintf('/%s/%s.json', $directory, $req['uuid']),
$req['content']
);
echo(sprintf(
"[Page %3d] Downloaded request %s sent at %s (%d bytes)\n",
$page, $req['uuid'], $req['created_at'], $req['size']
));
}
$page++;
sleep(1);
} while (!$response['is_last_page'] && isset($response['data']));
Node.js¶
Fetch latest data¶
This script outputs the data sent to a Webhook.site URL in the last 2 hours.
To do this, the script uses the query parameter (more info here) in conjunction with a created_at filter.
Before running the script, you should install dependencies by running npm install axios moment.
import axios from 'axios';
import moment from 'moment';
// Change these!
const apiKey = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
const tokenId = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
async function getData(apiKey, tokenId) {
let date = moment.utc().subtract(2, 'hours').format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss');
let dateQuery = `created_at:["${date}" TO "*"]`
try {
const response = await axios.get(`https://webhook.site/token/${tokenId}/requests`, {
params: {
query: dateQuery,
},
headers: {
'Api-Key': apiKey,
'Accept': 'application/json',
}
});
return response.data;
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
const requests = await getData(apiKey, tokenId);
console.log(`${requests.total} requests found:`);
for (const request of requests.data) {
console.log({
method: request.method,
body: request.content,
date: request.created_at,
});
}
Download all request data as files¶
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const https = require('https');
const directory = path.join(__dirname, 'requests');
//const apiKey = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
const tokenId = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000';
if (!fs.existsSync(directory) || !fs.lstatSync(directory).isDirectory()) {
throw new Error(`${directory} not writable, directory missing or rights issue.`);
}
const headers = {'Accept': 'application/json'};
if (typeof apiKey !== 'undefined') headers['Api-Key'] = apiKey;
let page = 1;
const fetchAndDownload = () => {
const url = `https://webhook.site/token/${tokenId}/requests?sorting=newest&page=${page}`;
https.get(url, { headers }, (res) => {
let data = '';
res.on('data', (chunk) => {
data += chunk;
});
res.on('end', () => {
const response = JSON.parse(data);
for (const req of response.data) {
const filePath = path.join(directory, `${req.uuid}.json`);
fs.writeFileSync(filePath, req.content);
console.log(`[Page ${page.toString().padStart(3)}] Downloaded request ${req.uuid} sent at ${req.created_at} (${req.size} bytes)`);
}
if (!response.is_last_page && response.data.length > 0) {
page++;
setTimeout(fetchAndDownload, 1000);
}
});
}).on('error', (err) => {
console.error('Error:', err.message);
});
};
fetchAndDownload();
