Fetch webhooks when you're ready.
Pull endpoints store incoming webhooks and let you retrieve them through the API. No server to run, no events to catch in real time. You decide when to process.
Providers push. You pull.
1. Create a pull endpoint
Set one up in the console or API. You get an ingestion URL just like an inbound endpoint, but nothing gets forwarded. Events are stored and wait for you.
2. Point your providers at it
Give the ingestion URL to Stripe, GitHub, or any service that sends webhooks. They deliver to Hookbridge as usual. Your events accumulate.
3. Retrieve events on your schedule
Call the API to list stored events, fetch payloads, and acknowledge what you've processed. Filter by event type, time range, or delivery status. Paginate through results at your own pace.
Webhooks without a running server.
Batch processing
You process events on a schedule, not in real time. A cron job runs every 15 minutes, pulls new events, and processes them in bulk. No server sitting idle between batches.
Restrictive network environments
Your infrastructure doesn't accept inbound traffic. Firewalls, VPNs, or security policies block incoming HTTP requests. Pull endpoints let you consume webhooks with outbound-only connections.
Backpressure control
A burst of events from a provider can overwhelm your application. With pull, you control the pace. Fetch 50 events, process them, then fetch the next 50.
Simple integrations
You're building an internal tool, a script, or a prototype. Setting up a webhook receiver with SSL, verification, and retry handling is a lot of work for something that runs once a day.
Get exactly the events you need.
Filter by event type
Pull only order.created events, or only payment.failed. Hookbridge extracts event types from the request body or headers, depending on your configuration.
Filter by time range
Retrieve events received after a specific timestamp, or within a time window. Useful for catching up after a gap or processing events for a specific period.
Filter by status
List only new events you haven't acknowledged yet, or go back and re-read events you already processed. Delivered events stay available until retention expires or you delete them.
Queue semantics with the safety of a log.
Durable storage
Every incoming webhook is stored before the provider gets a 200 response. Payloads are encrypted at rest.
Acknowledge on your terms
Mark events as delivered when you've processed them. Batch acknowledge up to 1,000 events in a single call. Idempotent, so re-acking is safe.
Reprocess anytime
Already acknowledged an event but need to reprocess? Delivered events aren't deleted. Fetch them again by ID or filter for delivered events.
Configurable retention
Events are retained based on your plan's default or a per-endpoint override. Once retention expires, events are cleaned up automatically.
Full visibility into stored events.
Console browser
Browse and filter stored events from the Hookbridge console. View payloads, check delivery status, and manage events without writing code.
Metrics & logs
Track ingestion rates, storage counts, and acknowledgment patterns per pull endpoint. Logs show every event received and every acknowledgment.
Cursor-based pagination
Paginate through large result sets with stable cursors. Default page size is 100 events, configurable up to 1,000. Cursors are consistent across concurrent reads.
Standard rate limits
Pull endpoint API calls use the same rate limits as the rest of the Hookbridge API. No special restrictions, no additional costs.
