Webhooks are usually discussed as something your application should process automatically.
A payment provider sends an event. A Git hosting service notifies you about a push. A SaaS product sends a status update. Your backend receives the request, verifies it, stores it, and runs the required logic.
But before all of that, there is often a much simpler step: you just need to see what the webhook actually looks like. Not the example from the documentation. Not the expected payload in your head. The real request.
What method does it use? Which headers are included? How is the body structured? Where is the event type stored? Are there signatures, timestamps, nested fields, IDs, or provider-specific details that are not obvious from the docs?
For this first step, setting up a local server can be unnecessary work.
