} About this API
Coverage & behavior
Generates fictional, vendor-neutral webhook delivery records for retry dashboards, consumer tests and dead-letter tooling. Each record contains one event plus its complete bounded attempt history. Earlier attempts fail, a delivered record ends in one successful 2xx attempt, a retrying record exposes a future nextRetryAt, and a terminal failed record has exhausted retryLimit.
eventType, status, attemptCount, retryLimit and the event-created from/to window are real constraints. With one date bound, the other resolves exactly 30 elapsed days away. Cross-parameter combinations that cannot exist return 400 rather than silently changing the request. When the minimum year-0000 window cannot support an overdue invoice's prior due day, an unpinned mix excludes that event type deterministically. Attempt times follow deterministic exponential backoff with bounded jitter.
Destinations use RFC 2606's reserved example.com domain. Signatures are visibly test-only, shape-compatible strings made without a real secret; they must not be used to test cryptographic verification. Header names and payloads are intentionally generic and make no vendor wire-format compatibility claim.
Use it for
- Populate a webhook delivery-history and retry dashboard
- Test success, retrying and exhausted-delivery UI states
- Create reproducible consumer fixtures without sending network requests
Frequently asked questions
Do webhook attempts follow a real retry sequence?
Yes. Attempts are chronological, earlier attempts fail, delivered records end in one 2xx response, and retrying records include a later nextRetryAt.
Can I generate a terminal failed delivery?
Yes. Set status=failed; the endpoint resolves attemptCount to retryLimit, and every attempt carries a failure status and error.
Are the destination and signature safe test values?
Yes. Destinations use reserved example.com, while the signature is explicitly shape-only fixture data created without a real signing secret.
Does this match a specific webhook provider?
No. Event names, headers and delivery fields are deliberately generic so the endpoint does not imply compatibility with any vendor API.
