What is RequestBin.net?

RequestBin.net is a tool for inspecting HTTP requests and DNS queries. It allows you to create temporary endpoints (bins) where you can send HTTP requests and view the details including headers, body content, and metadata. It's perfect for debugging webhooks, testing APIs, and analyzing network requests.

How do I create a bin?

Creating a bin is simple:

1. Visit theBins page
2. Click "Create New Bin"
3. Your unique bin URL will be generated instantly
4. Send HTTP requests to your bin URL and view them in real-time

Do I need an account to use RequestBin?

No account is required for basic usage! You can create bins and inspect requests immediately. However, creating an account gives you additional benefits like persistent bins, request history, team collaboration, and cloud storage across devices.

How long do bins last?

Free bins expire after 24 hours of inactivity. With a registered account, you can create persistent bins that last longer based on your plan. Premium users can set custom expiration times or create permanent bins.

What types of requests can I send?

You can send any type of HTTP request including GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, and more. RequestBin.net captures all headers, query parameters, body content (JSON, XML, form data, etc.), and metadata like IP addresses and timestamps.

Can I test DNS queries?

Yes! RequestBin.net supports DNS testing and inspection. You can create DNS bins to capture and analyze DNS queries, responses, and troubleshoot DNS-related issues.

How do I share bins with my team?

Registered users can share bin URLs with team members. Premium accounts include advanced collaboration features like team workspaces, shared bins, and access controls.

My requests aren't showing up

If your requests aren't appearing, try these steps:

• Verify you're using the correct bin URL
• Check if your bin has expired (free bins last 24 hours)
• Ensure your firewall isn't blocking outbound requests
• Try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache
• Check our system status page for any service issues

I'm getting SSL/TLS errors

All RequestBin.net endpoints use HTTPS with valid SSL certificates. If you're experiencing SSL errors, it may be due to outdated certificate stores or network security policies. Contact your network administrator or try from a different network.

Rate limits and usage restrictions

Free accounts have reasonable rate limits to ensure fair usage. If you need higher limits for development or production testing, consider upgrading to a premium plan. Enterprise customers can request custom rate limits.
