01 / Reliable

Events land,
every time.

Webhooks are the connective tissue of modern software. When they drop, things break. We're obsessed with delivery guarantees — automatic retries, multi-region redundancy, and full payload visibility from source to destination.

Automatic retries with exponential backoff. Failed delivery? We retry with intelligent spacing — not blind hammering. Your downstream systems get time to recover.

Multi-region redundancy. Events route through the nearest healthy region. No single point of failure. No single datacenter dependency.

Full event history, forever queryable. Never lose a payload. Every event is stored, searchable, and replayable. Debug confidently.

Real-time delivery monitoring. See event status as it happens — not post-hoc logging that shows up an hour later.

bash — 3-line setup

# 1. Create your endpoint
curl -X POST https://api.hookwing.com/v1/endpoints \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HW_KEY" \
  -d '{"name": "my-endpoint"}'

# 2. Send an event
curl -X POST https://hook.hookwing.com/ep_abc123 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"event": "user.signup", "id": "u_42"}'

# 3. Read your events back
curl https://api.hookwing.com/v1/endpoints/ep_abc123/events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HW_KEY"

02 / Simple

Webhooks shouldn't need a PhD.

One API call to create an endpoint. Predictable responses. Clear, machine-parseable errors. We made it simple on purpose — because complexity is a product failure, not a feature.

Zero config to start. No YAML. No config files. No proprietary format. Standard HTTP, standard JSON.

Errors that explain themselves. Every error includes a status code, a machine-readable error code, a human message, and a suggested fix. No mystery.

Playground with zero signup. Get a live webhook URL in under 5 seconds. No credit card. No account. Just a URL.

OpenAPI 3.1 spec. No proprietary SDK required. Any HTTP client works. Full spec at /openapi.json.

03 / Transparent

What you see is what you get.

No bait-and-switch. No surprise invoices. No "contact sales" for basic information. Published SLA. Public status page. Pricing you can read in 30 seconds and JSON you can read in 10.

Published SLA with refund policy. Not just a promise — a contract. 99.99% uptime SLA on paid plans, with clear remediation if we miss it.

Real-time public status page. Not a hand-curated blog post after the fact. Live metrics, incident history, and structured JSON at /api/status.

Pricing with no asterisks. Free tier is 10,000 events per month. No credit card required. No expiry. That's ~333 events per day — real enough for production projects.

Machine-readable pricing at /api/pricing. Agents and scripts can query our pricing programmatically. No scraping required.

04 / Secure

Your webhook data is sensitive. We treat it that way.

Security isn't a checkbox. It's the default. Every request is signed. Every transmission is encrypted. Every action is logged. And every key is scoped to the minimum access required.

Webhook signatures

HMAC-SHA256 on every payload. Verify your source.

TLS 1.3 everywhere

No plaintext. No exceptions. Zero-downtime cert rotation.

Immutable audit logs

Every action recorded. Tamper-proof trail for compliance.

Least-privilege keys

Scoped API keys: read, write, or admin. Revoke anytime.

Encrypted at rest

Event data encrypted in storage. Keys rotated regularly.

GDPR-conscious

Data residency controls. DPA available on Jet plan.

05 / Agent-Ready

Built for AI from day one.
Not bolted on.

API-first design. MCP server. Agent skills. HTTP-native payments. No 2FA blocking automation. Structured responses for LLM consumption. Hookwing is what webhook infrastructure looks like when you actually think about agents.

No 2FA required. Agents authenticate with API keys only. Long-lived, scoped, revocable. No browser. No CAPTCHA. No human in the loop.

MCP server. Native Model Context Protocol support. Install hookwing-mcp and your IDE (Claude, Cline, Cursor) gets full webhook superpowers.

Agent Skills. First-class Hookwing skill for LLMs. Import into any agent framework. Create endpoints, inspect events, set routing rules — all via natural language.

HTTP-native payments. Agents can upgrade plans via API calls. No browser. No form. No CAPTCHA. POST to /v1/billing/upgrade.

Structured everything. Pricing in JSON. Docs with schemas. Errors with machine-readable codes. Status at /api/status. Agents scan for structure. We give them structure.
