Overview

Runscope, now part of BlazeMeter, is a suite of tools for API performance monitoring. It can be used to monitor webhook endpoints by creating tests that check for uptime, performance, and data correctness. It can also capture and inspect traffic sent to a unique Runscope URL, similar to RequestBin, making it useful for debugging webhook integrations.
