API Reliability Layer

Your backend can fail.
Not your business integrations.

getrequest sits in front of your backend as a reliability layer — so traffic spikes, downtime, or failed deployments never result in lost requests.

How it works

Follow one request through a bad deploy.

Relay, Retain, Recover is what happens to every request that reaches a getrequest endpoint. Here is a single checkout call living through all three.

  1. 01Relay

    Point callers at one URL. Everything else passes through.

    Each endpoint gets a URL like e.getrequest.io/aB3dEf7gH9jK2mN4. Sync API forwards the request to your destination and hands back its exact status, headers, and body. Async API answers 202 immediately and delivers in the background. Static API returns a JSON body you define.

    • Body forwarded unchanged
    • Your real response returned on Sync
    • Switch actions without redeploying

    response
    HTTP 201 Created { "status": "confirmed" }

    The caller got your API’s exact 201. The exchange is logged either way.

  2. 02Retain

    When your API fails, the request is still on record.

    A bad deploy starts throwing. A Sync caller gets a real 502 or 504, not a fake 200, and the full request is logged with its headers, body, response, and timing. An Async delivery keeps retrying on a fixed schedule: 15s, 60s, 5m, 15m, 15m.

    • Headers, body, status, timing
    • Searchable for 7 to 30 days
    • Failures are logged, not swallowed

    response
    HTTP 502 Bad Gateway { "error": "Upstream request failed" }

    The caller received the 502. The request is kept with everything needed to send it again.

  3. 03Recover

    Fix the deploy. Replay what it missed.

    Replay re-sends the exact original request to the endpoint’s destination. The result is stored next to the original, which stays untouched. After a wide outage, bulk retry takes a hand-picked selection of up to 100, or sweeps a whole filtered set at a steady 10 requests per second.

    • Original payload, original headers
    • Original record preserved
    • Bulk retry on Pro and Gro

    Replay

    Re-send the exact original to the endpoint’s destination. The new response is stored next to the original, which is never modified. Pro and Gro.

    Production / Logs / req_8xm2k9p
    OriginalPOST502Upstream request failed · 31ms14:02:11
    ReplayPOST201{ "status": "confirmed" } · 91ms14:19:40

    The original record stays exactly as captured. Replays are manual, limited to 20 per minute, and work on Sync and Async endpoints.

  5. 05

    Auto-retry

    Async API answers 202 and delivers in the background: up to 6 attempts over about 36 minutes, 10 seconds each. Every attempt is recorded.

    Production / Logs / Stripe webhook
    delivered
    202{ "status": "Success", "request_id": "3f9c1e2a-…" }returned to caller
    1. Attempt 1immediately503
    2. Attempt 2+15s503
    3. Attempt 3+60stimeout
    4. Attempt 4+5m200
    5. Attempts 5–6+15m, +15mnot needed

    A 202 means the request was accepted for delivery, not that it was delivered. If all 6 attempts fail, delivery_status becomes failed and the request waits for a manual replay.

  6. 06

    Bulk Retry

    The Retries page groups the last 7 days of failures by endpoint, status, and error. Retry a whole group, or hand-pick up to 100. Pro and Gro.

    Filter-based jobs run at 10 requests per second, so the recovery doesn’t knock your API over again.

Quickstart

One URL. One request. Under two minutes.

Create an endpoint in the dashboard, copy its URL, and send it anything. There is no SDK to install and nothing to deploy. Your callers change one base URL.

  1. 1Create an endpoint and choose an action
  2. 2Send a request to its unique URL
  3. 3Open Logs and inspect the full exchange
Create an endpoint →Read Sync API guide

Forwards to your destination and returns its exact response. No automatic retries.

$ curl -X POST https://e.getrequest.io/aB3dEf7gH9jK2mN4 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "order_id": "ord_8841",
    "items": [{ "sku": "SKU-123", "qty": 2 }],
    "total": 59.98

Built for how you ship now

You ship faster with AI tools. Your safety net should keep up.

More of your code is generated, reviewed fast, and deployed the same day. getrequest is a plain HTTP URL, so it works with whatever you or your tools write. No SDK, no framework, no agent integration to set up.

Static API

Ship the frontend before the backend.

Your generated UI needs an API today. Return the exact JSON shape it expects, then switch the action to Sync API when the real handler lands. The URL never changes.

Inspector

See what the generated client actually sent.

When an assistant writes the integration, the log shows the headers and body that really arrived, not the ones you assumed. Search them to find the malformed field.

Authentication

Keep a record of what your agents call.

Put an endpoint in front of the API an agent’s tool calls. Every call is logged with its response. Calls with a missing or wrong credential get a 401 and are logged too.

Replay

Deploy fast. Recover what the bad deploy dropped.

When a handler breaks in production, failed requests stay on record. Async deliveries keep retrying while you fix it. Then replay the rest, one at a time or in bulk.

Alternatives

Where getrequest fits.

Each of these tools does part of the job well. getrequest covers sync and async request flows in one place, with nothing to host.
