Httpbin

API

Simple HTTP request & response testing service

Overview

Httpbin provides RESTful endpoints (e.g., /get, /post, /status, /headers, /ip) to test HTTP client behavior. It returns JSON responses with request details like headers, parameters, IP address, and body. Use cases include validating request formats, simulating HTTP status codes (200-500), testing authentication (basic, bearer), and verifying CORS handling. Ideal for developers building/debugging HTTP clients, APIs, or web apps without a backend.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://httpbin.org/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
