Be lucky


My side project osapy.com can be used for testing APIs, webhooks,etc. It doesn't make money yet, but as an indie hacker I would assume it can take a couple of years to get the product right and make any money. Great job on getting 7k EUR!


Very cool. You can also use osapy.com to inspect 3rd party API requests. Or even combine Osapy with endpoints.dev. I wrote a blogpost how to do that for retool.

In which direction do you want to develop the website?


Actually - just tried your website and it doesn't work for me. I tried curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message":"hello world"}' https://8ef216dd46.endpoints.dev and nothing happened. Maybe check your logs.


Are you running behind a load balancer on AWS? You might have to increase the idle connection timeout from the default (60 seconds). I use the max 4000s on hopps.io. Sending keep alive's to prevent the socket connection from closing also helps. Not sure if that's your issue, but worth looking into...


oh. you don't have live-updating. Sorry it works then.


Live updating should work - I'll investigate if there's any issues with the websocket api :)


Same, live updating didn't work but a page refresh did. I don't know much about websockets, but FWIW this request is still pending:

    Request URL: wss://ws.endpoints.dev/?token=redacted
    Request Method: GET
    Status Code: 101 Switching Protocols


it's normal for websockets to show as pending in devtools. Check the Messages tab


Fixing the real time update would be my only immediate feedback. Outside of that, this is a pretty nice app


Found the bug! Live updating should be working now


Live updating also not working for me. I do have uMatrix installed but I whitelisted your whole site for each column.


hmm - I can see a few requests have been received & stored for that endpoint.. It could be that your client killed the connection to the websocket api - does refreshing the page show the requests?


Same thing and worked a treat, with live updating... interesting.


Thanks. I'll check it out.


Yeah.. it's just to get started and see if anyone finds it useful.


Hi, It can do the same, but no installation or registration required.


Yes Osapy is for server-server debugging AND you don't need to install anything


Is hookbin using websockets for live publishing of the requests? It says you need to refresh the website.


It does not, however I have zero problems hitting cmd+r when I’ve made the request.


One aim of the tool is to make it as easy and simple as possible to use, but thank you for sharing the link.


I think depends on the use case. If you just want to test a backend API, e.g. to call ERP/SAP API or a Google API I'm not sure how you can do that.


Which API are you trying to call ? This doesn't look like one of my error messages.


I assume the example numbersapi that is loaded by default.

I got the same thing. Leaves me wondering what to do next. It's not clear, then I figured I'll try this curl command, then an error and still nothing obvious to try next.
