Never lose an
API request.
Relay traffic safely. Retain every request.
Recover from failures.
getrequest sits in front of your backend as a reliability layer — so traffic spikes, downtime, or failed deployments never result in lost requests.

Three stages. Complete reliability.
Relay
Every incoming request passes through getrequest before reaching your backend. Traffic spikes, bad actors, and sudden load are handled at the relay layer — your infrastructure never sees raw, uncontrolled traffic again.
Retain
Every relayed request is captured in full — headers, body, status, latency — before it reaches your upstream. Downtime, failed deployments, and infrastructure outages no longer mean lost data. Every request is durably retained.
Recover
Once your systems are back, replay any retained request with its exact original payload. No manual reconstruction, no asking users to retry. Missed traffic is restored and system consistency is recovered instantly.
Every request relayed safely.
Every failure recoverable.
getrequest sits between your clients and your backend as a protective reliability layer. Requests are relayed in real time, retained in full before they reach your infrastructure, and recoverable on demand — even after downtime.
The complete API reliability stack.
Relay traffic safely, retain every request durably, and recover from failures instantly — without managing gateways, queues, or observability pipelines.
Instant endpoints
Launch a production-ready API endpoint within seconds. Return mock JSON or proxy any upstream. No servers, no config files, no ops work.
Live inspector
Total visibility into every request the moment it lands. Headers, body, status, latency — your observability layer, included by default.
Request replay
Re-fire any captured request with original headers and body intact. Confirm a fix, reproduce a failure, validate a change — with one click.
ProShareable debug links
Generate a permanent link to any captured request. Paste it in Slack, a Jira ticket, or a PR. Full request and response — no account required to view.
ProSmart forwarding
Route traffic to any upstream transparently. getrequest proxies the request, captures the full exchange, and logs everything — zero byte modification.
Usage metering
Track request volume across projects. Get pre-limit alerts. Build a reliability baseline from real traffic data before incidents happen.
Lost requests are the hidden cost of every downtime event.
“A traffic spike took us down and we lost every request that came in.”
When a sudden spike overwhelms your backend, requests fail silently. Webhook payloads are dropped. Customer actions never process. There is no record of what arrived during the outage.
“We deployed a bad build and permanently lost two hours of incoming traffic.”
Deployments fail. Services go down. When your backend is unavailable, every request that arrives is gone forever — unless you have a layer that captures and holds them before they ever reach your infrastructure.
“After the incident, we had to ask customers to retry. Half of them didn't.”
Manual recovery is the default. Engineers reconstruct requests from partial logs, customers are asked to resend, and critical business events are simply written off. Recovery should not require human intervention.
Why teams choose getrequest.
Every alternative solves one piece. getrequest is the only layer that handles sync and async request flows end-to-end — with zero downtime and no infra to manage.
