📬 NodeBin

Collect and inspect HTTP requests in real time — perfect for testing webhooks, API clients, and more.

NodeBin is a lightweight, self-hosted HTTP request collector — ideal for testing webhooks, HTTP clients, or any service that sends HTTP requests. Create temporary bins and inspect request payloads live via a clean UI or RESTful API. Inspired by the original PostBin project, it’s minimal, fast, and runs on Bun.js.

Features

• 🔗 Unique bin URLs that accept any HTTP method
• 🧪 View headers, query params, and request body
• 📈 Live tail mode with auto-scroll
• 📦 RESTful API to create bins and fetch requests
• 🗑️ Bins expire automatically after 30 minutes
• 🧼 Minimal and portable — runs on SQLite and Bun.js
• 🎨 Clean, responsive UI built with Tailwind CSS
