Hello all! I'm one of the creators of webhooks.fyi over at https://ngrok.com/ https://ngrok.com/
Happy to answer any questions!
First, we started this project when we launched in-product webhook verification. We realized that we were collecting great information, had uncovered some clear and obvious patterns (both good & bad), and knew we could publish the results to help the ecosystem as a whole.
Next, yes it's ridiculously hard to build webhooks correctly. There are so many shortcuts that feel "okay" and you don't really think about until you realize that it didn't quite work as you had planned and now you have a gap. We're hoping the site can help people move more of that thinking earlier and make better decisions.
Finally, we're missing a bunch of webhooks! While we looked at 100+ in our own research, we only had time to add ~50 to this initial pass. If you'd like to add your favorites, pull requests welcome: https://github.com/ngrok/webhooks.fyi https://github.com/ngrok/webhooks.fyi
And yes, seriously, you can use ngrok to verify webhooks pretty easily:
ngrok http 80 --verify-webhook=slack --verify-webhook-secret=[secret]
- tasn 4y agoOh, I didn't know about the new --verify-webhook addition to ngrok, that's cool! Who can I chat with about adding Svix style webhooks[1] to ngrok? We do webhook sending as a service and power the webhooks for many companies, including one of the only three that got a "perfect score" on your list. Adding Svix will make ngrok automatically support many webhooks services. I'd be happy to chat further my email is my name at the domain of the Svix service.
