Show HN: I built an API for easy Email, Webhook and 2FA testing
msgdrop.io
I wanted to showcase and get some feedback on a new product I've been working on over the last few months. It's something I often wished existed to help QA folks with robust automation testing and because I didn't quite like anything that was already out there I built https://msgdrop.io which is an easy to use RESTful API for Email, Webhook and two-factor auth testing.
Key features include:
- Disposable email addresses from an API - Accessing an inbox through an API - Webhook URLs for testing - Enrol and generate 2FA codes from an API
Msgdrop operates its own mail server which means that you don't have to configure a fake SMTP server in order to test mail. Msgdrop works for everyone, including customers who use services such as Mailgun, SendGrid or Resend.
Your software sends real emails to actual addresses, and your tests can query these inboxes via HTTP API calls.
Additional features include:
- Spam testing - Spam scoring - Testing of email attachments - URL auto-discovery - and many more
For 2FA testing, you can submit OTP details (e.g. the TOTP secret) or a QR code image to our API in order to enrol, then generate verification codes through the same API - similar to using an app on a phone.
I look forward to questions and feedback.
