Receiving Webhooks

Using Ngrok

1. setup ngrok on your machine
2. tunnel your port to ngrok to make it publicly available (put your local host on the internet)

./ngrok http 8000

3. ngrok will then provide a publicly available url that fowards to your localhost(reverse proxy)

http://83d4-169-255-125-200.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8000

You are now ready to process webhook events

• Provide your webhook URL http://83d4-169-255-125-200.ngrok.io/hook/process/ to whoever will be sending you webhooks
• The logic on /hook/process should then parse the event and do with it as you have commanded.

Sending Webhooks

Sending webhook events is pretty much straightfoward.

1. Receive the destination webhook URL
2. Get the data ready
3. Call the http://localhost:8000/hook/send/ endpoint with the data

curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/hook/send/ -d '{"foo": "bar"}'
