# Test Webhook

> Send a signed webhook.test event to the webhook's URL now.

Requires an API key with the `write` scope.

Makes an outbound HTTP request from FoxReach and waits up to 10 seconds. The event is signed exactly like a real delivery (see [Signatures](/webhooks/signatures)). The response reports the HTTP status your endpoint answered with and how long it took; it never includes what your endpoint replied with. A test does not create a delivery record. The URL must resolve to a public address and redirects are not followed.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="webhook_id" type="string" required>
  The unique identifier of the webhook.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="data" type="object">
  <Expandable title="data">
    <ResponseField name="success" type="boolean">`true` when the endpoint answered with a 2xx status.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="statusCode" type="integer">The HTTP status code, or `null` when no response was received.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="durationMs" type="integer">How long the request took. Present when a response was received.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="error" type="string">Why no response was received. Present when `statusCode` is `null`.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="errorCode" type="string">`target_not_public`, `invalid_url`, `timeout` or `connection_error`.</ResponseField>
  </Expandable>
</ResponseField>

## Rate Limit

- **100 requests per minute, shared by every `expensive` call in your workspace.** Fixed 60-second window.
- Every response includes `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset` (unix epoch seconds) and `X-RateLimit-Bucket` (`expensive`).
- A `429` response includes a `Retry-After` header (seconds until the bucket resets).
