Troubleshooting API with Pipedream: HTTP Traffic Inspector

Modified on Fri, 26 Jun at 10:17 AM

Pipedream is a simple and powerful tool that lets you capture and inspect data sent to a temporary endpoint. It's especially helpful when troubleshooting lead submissions - whether they're sent via the API or through Web Forms.

Getting Started

  • Visit the Pipedream website using this link.
  • Sign in to your account, or create one if you haven't already.

Creating a Source

  • In the left-hand menu, select Sources.
  • Click Add Source in the top-right corner.
  • Choose HTTP / Webhook as the source type.
  • Select New Requests.
  • Give your new source a name and create it.

Your Webhook Endpoint

Once created, Pipedream will provide you with a unique endpoint URL. Use this URL as the delivery address for your API or Web Form submission while testing.

Inspecting and Copying Data

  • Send your request to the Pipedream endpoint.
  • Return to your Source in Pipedream - you'll see any received submissions listed on the left-hand side.
  • Select the submission you want to inspect.
  • You can copy the raw request body (and headers if needed) directly from Pipedream. These appear as raw_body and headers in the interface.

If you're contacting our support team for troubleshooting, please include both the request headers and the raw body - this helps us diagnose issues much more quickly.
