What is the Zuplo Echo API?

Zuplo Echo is a free, key-free HTTP testing endpoint that reflects your request back as JSON — method, URL, query parameters, headers and body — so you can see exactly what your client sent.

Echo services are the fastest way to answer 'what is my HTTP client actually sending?'. Point a request at this endpoint and the response tells you the method, the parsed query string, every header including ones your library added silently, and the body.

It accepts any method and any path, which makes it useful for testing routing, proxies and middleware as well as plain client behaviour. It is a modern alternative to httpbin, which has become unreliable.

if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${res.status}`);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

Python (requests)

import requests

res = requests.get("https://echo.zuplo.io/", timeout=20)
res.raise_for_status()
print(res.json())

Common errors and how to fix them

Body missing on POST

No Content-Type header was sent, so the body was not parsed.

Fix: Set Content-Type explicitly — this is exactly the class of bug an echo service exposes.

Unexpected headers present

Your HTTP library adds headers you did not set.

Fix: That is the point of the tool; compare against what the target API expects.

Zuplo Echo API — frequently asked questions

What is an echo API used for?

It reflects your HTTP request back as JSON so you can verify exactly what your client sent — headers, query parameters and body. It is a debugging tool, not a data source.

Is Zuplo Echo free?

Yes, free with no API key or signup required.

How is this different from httpbin?

It serves the same purpose but is more reliably available. httpbin.org has suffered extended outages, which makes it a poor dependency for tutorials or CI.

Can I use it to test POST requests?

Yes, it accepts any HTTP method and echoes the body back. Remember to set Content-Type or the body will not be parsed.
