Test events let you verify your endpoint connectivity and signature verification before going live. They share the common fields but never represent real transactions.

​
ping

A lightweight connectivity test. Sent when you click Send Test in the Paxos Labs Console with no specific event type selected. 
{
  "id": "1234567890",
  "type": "ping",
  "timestamp": "2026-04-10T18:32:24.000Z",
  "version": "v2"
}
The ping event contains only the common fields — no additional fields.

Testing with the Paxos Labs Console

The Paxos Labs Console lets you send test events for any subscribed event type. Test events:
  • Have IDs prefixed with evt_test_
  • Contain representative sample data (not real transactions)
  • Are labeled Test in delivery history
Use test events to verify your endpoint connectivity and signature verification before going live.
