# **A RequestBin Alternative: Free Webhook Inspector, No Signup**

The original free RequestBin is gone. Webhook Relay's Webhook Bin is a free RequestBin alternative — get an instant URL, inspect HTTP requests and webhooks in real time, then forward them to localhost.

![A RequestBin Alternative: Free Webhook Inspector, No Signup](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/images/blog/heroes/alternative.jpg)

[RequestBin](https://requestbin.com) was the original "paste a URL, see the request" tool. The free hosted version was discontinued and folded into Pipedream, so the simple no-signup bin people remember now sits behind an account. If that's what sent you here, you want the same thing RequestBin used to be: a **free, instant, no-signup request bin**.

That's exactly what Webhook Relay's [Webhook Bin](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/webhook-bin/) is — plus a way to forward those requests to your own code.

## [TL;DR](#tldr)

- **Want the classic free request bin?** [Webhook Bin](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/webhook-bin/) gives you an instant URL with no signup.
- **Want to inspect every detail?** Headers, query params, method and body, in real time.
- **Want it to reach your app?** Forward to localhost or a private server with the relay agent.

## [RequestBin vs Webhook Bin](#requestbin-vs-webhook-bin)

|  | RequestBin (Pipedream) | Webhook Relay (Webhook Bin) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free, no-signup bin | Account required | Yes |
| Instant URL | Yes | Yes |
| Real-time inspection | Yes | Yes |
| Custom response | Limited | Yes |
| Forward to localhost / private server | No | Yes (relay agent) |
| Transform / fan-out | Via workflows | [Native](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/features/transform-webhooks/) |
| Permanent endpoint | Paid | Yes (free account) |

## [How to use it](#how-to-use-it)

1. **Open the bin.** Go to [Webhook Bin](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/webhook-bin/) — a unique URL is created instantly.
2. **Send a request.** Point any service or a quick `curl` at it:

```
curl -X POST https://your-bin-url \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"hello":"world"}'
```

1. **Inspect.** The request appears immediately with full headers and body.
2. **(Optional) Forward it.** [Create a free account](https://my.webhookrelay.com/register), install the agent, and deliver requests to `localhost:8080` or any internal service.

## [Why developers move from a plain bin](#why-developers-move-from-a-plain-bin)

A request bin shows you the payload. Webhook Relay also **delivers** it — so the same URL you debug with becomes the one your provider keeps calling, with [retries](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/webhooks/), [transformations](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/features/transform-webhooks/) and [multiple destinations](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/features/webhook-multiple-destinations/) when you need them.

[Open Webhook Bin](https://webhookrelay.com/blog/requestbin-alternative/webhook-bin/) or [create a free account](https://my.webhookrelay.com/register) to forward requests to your own machine.
