A request bin for the requests you cannot see anywhere else.

Request bin vs application logs

Application logs tell you what your code decided to log. A request bin shows what reached an independent endpoint before your framework, middleware, schema validation or business logic can alter it. That makes it useful for identifying missing headers, wrong content types, unexpected field names and encoding problems.

Good situations for a temporary request bin

• Checking whether a webhook provider is sending events at all
• Comparing documentation with the actual payload
• Inspecting signature and authorization headers
• Testing query parameters from third-party callbacks
• Sharing a reproducible request shape with another developer

What not to put into a request bin

Do not treat a temporary bin as durable storage. Keep production credentials, personal data and sensitive customer records out of debugging payloads. Use synthetic examples and provider test modes instead.

Start with one reproducible request

A useful debugging habit is to capture one known event first, understand its exact shape, and only then compare failing events. This removes a large amount of noise from integration debugging.
