Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about webhook testing with Play
How do I test webhooks locally with hookVM Play?
Create a Play endpoint, then use the hookVM CLI to forward webhooks to your localhost. Run hookvm play listen --endpoint-id your-id --port 3000 to tunnel webhooks directly to your local development server without exposing it to the internet.
Do I need to sign up to use Play?
No, you can start using Play immediately without signing up. Simply visit the Play console and you'll get a unique webhook URL to start capturing webhooks instantly.
Can I replay webhooks to test my endpoint?
Yes, Play allows you to replay any captured webhook. This is useful for testing fixes, reproducing issues, or validating your webhook handler without needing to trigger the original event again.
How long are webhooks stored in Play?
Webhooks are stored for 7 days in the free tier. Paid plans offer longer retention periods and unlimited webhook storage.
Is Play better than RequestBin or Webhook.site?
Play offers advanced features like localhost forwarding, webhook replay, powerful search and filtering, and integration with Flow and Pulse for production use. Unlike basic webhook catchers, Play is designed for both development and debugging production issues.
