WebSub Tester

Writing a WebSub Publisher (i.e. a hub)?

We can can help you test it - by running a few automated tests as a subscriber.

Enter a Topic URL managed by your hub:

We'll fetch the Topic URL, discover the hub, then:

• Subscribe to the Topic URL with a hub.secret
• Subscribe to the Topic URL without a hub.secret
• Subscribe to the Topic URL, then unsubscribe
• Subscribe to the Topic URL, then resubscribe to extend duration

The subscriptions will be short-lived, but any content pings you make to them during that time will be displayed. You might also want to send a denial to test that flow.

If those basic tests pass, some additional tests will run:

• Subscribe to the Topic URL with a hub.lease_seconds = 1
• Subscribe to the Topic URL, but respond with a bad verification challenge
• Subscribe to an invalid Topic URL
