# Test Webhook (POST /api/webhook-subscriptions/{id}/test)

> Send a sample signed delivery to verify your endpoint.

## Overview

Sends a one-off `rates.test` delivery to the subscription's URL, signed exactly like a real `rates.published` delivery. The response tells you the HTTP status your endpoint returned, so you can confirm your receiver and [signature verification](/api-reference/webhooks/overview#verifying-signatures) work before the next publication.

<Note>
  Authenticate with your API key - the same `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` you use for the rest of the API. You can also manage webhooks from your dashboard.
