What is httpbin?

httpbin echoes back whatever you send it, so you can test headers, methods, cookies, redirects, status codes, auth and delays against a predictable endpoint. Every endpoint is documented in an interactive Swagger page, and it is free to use, open source and easy to run locally with Docker.

Pros: what httpbin does well

  • Covers nearly every HTTP case
  • Interactive docs
  • Can run locally

Cons: where it falls short

  • Public instance can be slow at times
  • Only useful for developers

Who httpbin is for

Developers debugging HTTP clients, webhooks or proxies.

Who can skip it

Anyone who does not write code that talks to APIs.
