Testing webhooks with tools like ngrok and RequestBin

Debug quickly without a production endpoint

In the Leafy Energy demo you can test webhooks without building a full backend. With tools like ngrok and RequestBin-style services you see exactly what is being sent.

Testing with ngrok

1. Run a simple local HTTP server, for example in Node.js or Python.
2. Start ngrok to expose your local port to the internet.
3. Use the ngrok URL as a webhook endpoint in Leafy Energy.
4. Inspect incoming requests in your terminal or logs.

Testing with RequestBin-like services

• Create a temporary endpoint URL.
• Configure this URL as a webhook receiver in Leafy Energy.
• Inspect headers and payloads in the web UI.

This is a great way to show, live in a demo, what the webhook body contains without deploying anything complex.
