API Endpoints:
Tokens (URLs & Email Addresses)

A token is a container for incoming requests and emails, and corresponds to a Webhook.site URL or Email. A token ID is a 36 character UUID consisting of hexadecimal characters and dashes.

Simply, the token ID is the part after https://webhook.site/ in the URL, or before @email.webhook.site in the email address.

Create token

  • Can require authentication.
  • Rate limit: 10 per minute (free); 60 per minute (Pro and Enterprise)

POST /token

After creating a token, the following addresses become active. alias can be used in place of uuid. Both HTTP and HTTPS can be used.

  • https://webhook.site/{uuid}
  • https://webhook.site/{uuid}/{anything}
  • https://{uuid}.webhook.site
  • https://{uuid}.webhook.site/{anything}
  • {uuid}@emailhook.site (Email)
  • {uuid}.dnshook.site (DNS)
  • {anything}.{uuid}.dnshook.site (DNS)

Request

JSON parameters
  • default_status (int, 200-599, default 200) sets the default response status of the URL
  • default_content (string) sets the default response content of the URL
  • default_content_type (string, default text/html) sets the default response content type of the URL (to set other headers, take a look at the Modify Response action.)
  • timeout (int) amount of seconds to sleep before returning the response, max 30. Intended for testing timeouts, requests to tokens with timeouts are rate limited; a high timeout value will incur a lower rate limit.
  • listen (int) amount of seconds to listen for a response from the Set Response endpoint. 0 to disable, max 10. Default 0.
  • expiry (int) amount of seconds until token auto-expiration. Max value (and default for non-upgraded URLs) is 604800 (one week). Intended for e.g. automated testing pipelines. Leave out or set to null to disable.
  • request_limit (int) - limits the request history of the Token, from 0 (no data stored on Webhook.site servers) to 10000 (default)
  • cors (bool) set to true will add CORS headers to the request so browsers will send cross-domain requests to the URL
  • alias (string) allows setting the alias of the token.
  • actions (bool) specifies if Custom Actions are enabled and executed on every request/email (true), or disabled (false.)
  • clone_from (uuid string) specifies a token UUID (or alias) that will act as a template for the new token. When specified, settingssuch as default content, timeout, password as well as Custom Actions are copied to the new token.
  • group_id (int) specifies which group ID the token should be added to.
Example 1: JSON
{
  "default_status": 200,
  "default_content": "Hello world!",
  "default_content_type": "text/html",
  "timeout": 0,
  "cors": false,
  "expiry": 604800,
  "alias": "my-webhook",
  "actions": true
}
Example 2: Creating with Python 3

Requires the requests module, which can be installed using pip install requests. You'll also need to replace the API key. Create an API key here.

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'])

Response

200 OK
