to any incoming request
When to use it
You are building some API integration, and you need to accept webhook from some external service.
Before you rush to write code, you find it useful to first find out what format the data is being sent in.
Check what is sent to your webhook:
Start dummy HTTP server — HTTPok!
httpok 8000
Start ngrok tunnel to dummy server.
ngrok http 8000
Copy and paste ngrok URL, for example
https://9017-92-244-247-26.ngrok.io
to your service as Webhook URL.
Now, every time the service calls webhook, HTTP request will come to ngrok and then to your dummy server, answers HTTP 200 OK
.
Thanks to Ngrok you can see all content that is sent to webhook by service. Ngrok provides you a nice dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:4040
You can use dummy HTTP server with or without any tool, not only Ngrok, it is just a useful example.
