Happy to see this here :) I've been using it since the invite-only release. Helped us track down a bunch of bugs spot on. Burpsuite was my go-to tool before this, which simply is an overkill for this kind of testing. Intercept.rest makes it super simple and neat.

Thanks for using shitty early version ;) Look forward to continued support in the days to come. Again, we are thankful for the early feedback.

this looks great! how do you guys compare with requestbin?

That's great. Request bin is a great tool for capturing requests while testing the webhook.

Our tool is similar to that. But our tool will monitor and forward requests to the original URL and reply the response (a proxy for your API with monitoring ). So your endpoint will work as expected and you can monitor that for debugging purposes.

one use case is that when any client reports any bugs regarding API/network requests, you can easily reproduce that without getting any inputs from the user.

Is there an extreme amount of astro-turfing going on in this thread? I looked at the profiles of 3 of the most fervent supporters of this tool (comments by livin21, shyjal, and g0vz) and the accounts had only 1 other comment among all 3 over the course of years. Is this tool really that amazing that several lurkers have come from the shadows after years of silence to pledge their allegiance? Those were literally the ONLY 3 I looked at as well.
