What is a Webhook?

Discover how data is transmitted between applications in real-time.

The Foundation of Real-Time Communication

Webhooks are a way for one app to provide real-time information to another. When an event occurs (e.g., a new order is placed), a Webhook automatically sends an HTTP POST request to the target URL.

Tools like HookLog allow you to intercept, inspect, and test these incoming requests. It incredibly speeds up the debugging process for developers.

💡 Why use it?
Instead of your app constantly polling an API, Webhooks allow the app to "push" data to you. This saves server resources and allows for instant reaction.
High Speed

Data is transmitted in seconds and becomes instantly visible.
