Whois & Analysis for webhook.site

A webhook in web development is a method of augmenting or altering the behavior of a web page, or web application, with custom callbacks.

These callbacks may be maintained, modified, and managed by third-party users and developers who may not necessarily be affiliated with the originating website or application.

The term "webhook" was coined by Jeff Lindsay in 2007 from the computer programming term hook.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, and hypermedia information systems.

HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), commonly informally termed a web address (a term which is not defined identically) is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it.

A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), although many people use the two terms interchangeably.

A URL implies the means to access an indicated resource and is denoted by a protocol or an access mechanism, which is not true of every URI.

Thus is an URL, while is not.

URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages, but are also used for file transfer (ftp), email (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many other applications.

In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed.

It contains the program code and its current activity.

Depending on the operating system (OS), a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that execute instructions concurrently.

In computer science, real-time computing (RTC), or reactive computing describes hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response.

Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines".

The correctness of these types of systems depends on their temporal aspects as well as their functional aspects.

Real-time responses are often understood to be in the order of milliseconds, and sometimes microseconds.

A system not specified as operating in real time cannot usually guarantee a response within any timeframe, although actual or expected response times may be given.
