Platform Features

Everything you need to transform APIs into event streams

RocketHooks transforms any API endpoint into real-time event streams with intelligent polling, field-level change detection, and reliable event delivery. Connect any API and start receiving notifications in minutes.

API Transformation

Convert any API into real-time events

Intelligent polling and real-time event delivery turn static API endpoints into live data streams, even when the provider offers no native push notifications.

API-to-Event Transformation

Transform any API endpoint into a real-time event source, even for services that offer no native webhooks or push notifications.

Intelligent Polling Engine

Configurable polling intervals from 30 seconds to 24 hours with automatic optimization and rate limit awareness.

Change Detection & Monitoring

Detect exactly the changes that matter

JSONPath, XPath, and regex expressions let you monitor specific fields across JSON, XML, and text responses. Trigger notifications only when the data you care about actually changes.

Field-Level Change Detection

Monitor specific fields using JSONPath, XPath, or regex expressions. Trigger only when the data you care about changes across JSON, XML, and text responses.

Visual Response Diff

See before-and-after comparisons of detected changes with a clear diff view in the dashboard.

Real-Time Health Dashboard

Monitor polling status, webhook delivery rates, and system health across all your API integrations.

Delivery & Reliability

Reliable event delivery you can count on

HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks with exponential backoff retries, dead letter queues, and built-in connection validation ensure every event reaches its destination.

Webhook Delivery with HMAC Signing

Every webhook includes an HMAC-SHA256 signature following the Standard Webhooks spec. Verify payload authenticity with zero custom crypto code.

Reliable Webhook Delivery

Exponential backoff retries, dead letter queues, and delivery tracking ensure no event is lost.

Test Connection & Validation

Validate API connectivity, authentication, change detection, and webhook delivery before enabling monitoring. Catch configuration issues before they become production problems.

Clone & Template Endpoints

Duplicate endpoint configurations for rapid setup across similar APIs. Clone monitoring rules, delivery configs, and authentication in one click.

Security & Reliability

Enterprise-grade protection at every layer

KMS encryption, JWT webhook signatures, universal auth support, and two-tier circuit breakers protect your data and prevent cascade failures.

Enterprise-Grade Security

KMS encryption, JWT webhook signatures, and multi-tenant isolation protect your data at every layer.

Universal Auth Support

Connect APIs using API keys, Bearer tokens, OAuth 2.0 with auto-refresh, Basic auth, or custom headers.

Two-Tier Circuit Breakers

API-level and endpoint-level circuit protection prevents cascade failures and reduces compute costs by 60-80%.

FAQ

Feature questions answered

Common questions about RocketHooks capabilities and how they work.

Does RocketHooks work with any API? +
Yes. RocketHooks works with any HTTP API that returns JSON or XML responses. It supports API keys, Bearer tokens, OAuth 2.0 with auto-refresh, Basic auth, and custom headers for authentication.
How does field-level change detection work? +
RocketHooks uses expression-based monitoring to track specific fields within API responses. For JSON APIs, use JSONPath. For XML, use XPath. For plain text, use regex. AUTO mode detects the format automatically. You only get notified when the exact data you care about changes, not on every response.
How fast is the change detection? +
RocketHooks detects changes within the polling interval you configure, from as low as 30 seconds up to 24 hours. Webhook delivery after detection averages under 2 seconds.
What notification channels are supported? +
Webhooks are currently available with HMAC-SHA256 signed payloads following the Standard Webhooks specification. Slack, email, n8n, Zapier, and Make.com integrations are coming soon.
What happens when a webhook delivery fails? +
RocketHooks uses exponential backoff with automatic retries. Failed deliveries are stored in a dead letter queue for manual inspection and replay. You can track delivery status in real time from the dashboard.
