List All Webhooks

Endpoint

1GET /api/webhooks

Query Parameters

Name Type Description Required
page int The number of the page that will be returned. No
limit int The number of resources per page. No

Create a Webhook

It is recommended to have a backend service running that will handle your webhook calls, as you’ll have to provide a target value when creating the webhook. To give you an idea of how this works, we created a couple of example setups that you can use or get inspiration from. A webhook may be triggered by multiple conditions; as long as one of the conditions evaluates to true, the webhook will fire.

The returned token should be saved and used to validate the webhook origin. It is a secret value which should not be shared. For extra security, whitelist the IP of the node with your target service, ensuring other parties are not able to post webhook payloads.

The conditions lists consists of an array of objects, with the following properties:

  • key: the key used on the object that is passed along with the specified event
  • condition: a condition used to check the value against
  • value: (Optional) a value used to check the key against. This is not needed for the falsy and truthy conditions. In case of between and not-between, you’ll have to provide an object like this: "value": { "min": "someValue", "max": "someValue" }
