CatchHook vs. RequestBin
RequestBin gives you a quick Pipedream-hosted request inspector; CatchHook adds a durable, provider-aware debugging workflow.
RequestBin now redirects to Pipedream's hosted RequestBin and remains useful for a fast view of an inbound HTTP request. Pipedream's broader product is a workflow platform with usage-based compute pricing. CatchHook is the better fit when the job continues after the first capture: search retained webhook history, understand provider context, replay safely, tunnel to localhost, and save deterministic Replay Cases.

Feature Comparison
| Feature | CatchHook | RequestBin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast hosted request capture | Both provide a public HTTPS target and request inspection. | ||
| Persistent searchable webhook history | CatchHook account endpoints retain searchable events according to plan. RequestBin is positioned as the quick inspector surface. | ||
| Replay with request editing | CatchHook edits body, headers, and query parameters and preserves replay evidence. | ||
| Provider-aware debugging | CatchHook detects supported providers and exposes event, signature, setup, and replay-risk context. | ||
| Localhost relay | CatchHook includes a CLI relay while keeping the hosted capture available. | ||
| General workflow automation | Pipedream is a broad workflow platform; CatchHook Actions stay bounded to captured ingress workflows. | ||
| Replay Cases with assertions | CatchHook turns a captured delivery into a rerunnable case with deterministic assertions. |
Where CatchHook Stands Out
Choose RequestBin for a one-off HTTP sanity check
It is a lightweight entry point into Pipedream when you mainly need to see what arrived.
Choose CatchHook when the debugging loop continues
Search retained events, compare requests, inspect provider context, relay locally, and replay after changing the handler.
Preserve proof of the fix
Replay Cases keep the request snapshot, assertions, and run evidence together instead of ending at capture.
