Using the Hookdeck CLI, you can forward your webhooks to your local webserver. We offer unlimited free and permanent webhook URLs. You webhook history is preserved between session and can be viewed, replayed or used for testing by you and your teammates.
Hookdeck CLI is compatible with most of Hookdeck features such as filtering and fan-out delivery. You can use Hookdeck CLI to develop or test your webhook integration code locally.
Although it uses a different approach and philosophy, it's a replacement for ngrok and alternative HTTP tunnel solutions.
Hookdeck for development is completely free, and we monetize the platform with our Production offering.

Start a session to forward your webhooks to an HTTP server.
hookdeck listen <port-or-URL> <source-alias?> <connection-query?>Hookdeck works by routing webhooks receive for a given source (ie: Shopify, Github, etc.) to its defined destination by connecting them with a connection to a destination. The CLI allows you to receive webhooks for any given connection and forward them to your localhost at the specified port or any valid URL.
Each source is assigned a Webhook URL, which you can use to receive webhooks. When starting with a fresh account, the CLI will prompt you to create your first source. Each CLI process can listen to one source at a time.
Contrarily to ngrok, Hookdeck does not allow to append a path to your Webhook URL. Instead, the routing is done within Hookdeck configuration. This means you will also be prompted to specify your destination path, and you can have as many as you want per source.
The
port-or-URLparam is mandatory, webhooks will be forwarded to http://localhost:$PORT/$DESTINATION_PATH when inputing a valid port or your provided URL.
The second param, source-alias is used to select a specific source to listen on. By default, the CLI will start listening on all eligible connections for that source.
