HookRadar is an application that helps you check and test webhooks easily. It shows incoming webhook data in real time. You can review what your server is receiving, replay requests, and export them as cURL commands. This tool works on your own computer so you keep full control over your data. It acts like popular services such as Webhook.site and RequestBin but runs locally without needing an internet connection.
Hookradar is a free, open-source webhook tester and inspector. It lets you:
- Watch incoming webhook events live.
- Analyze the payloads sent by your webhooks.
- Replay requests to test your servers.
- Export webhook requests as cURL commands for later use.
- Run everything on your own Windows computer.
This software is useful if you want to test APIs or server hooks without sending data to a third party. It also helps you debug webhook issues by showing exactly what your server receives.
The app runs on Windows and uses a simple web interface you open in your browser. There is no need to write code or use command lines.
To use Hookradar on Windows, your computer should meet these basic requirements:
- Operating system: Windows 10 or later
- RAM: At least 4 GB (8 GB recommended for better performance)
- Disk space: 200 MB free space for installation and data
- Internet: Required only to download the app, not for running it
