Code for making use of the UP42 webhooks

Using webhooks in UP42

Introduction

This repository contains code for using webhooks with UP42.

It is divided in two parts:

1. Low code version with Python snippets to be used together with pipedream.
2. Server side version using an OpenResty based minimal setup that relies on pipedream for request validation and forward the webhook to OpenResty. Using ngrok to create a tunnel. In our OpenResty instance we use embebbed Lua to keep a record of the received webhooks.

Requirements

To be able to run the server side version of the code you need:

1. docker.
2. GNU make.
3. Jupyter.
4. cURL.
5. jq.

Pipedream snippets

The pipedream snippets are in the snippets directory. And the filenames are self explanatory:

• pipedream_up42_webhook_job_status_handler.py: incoming HTTP validation and job status filtering.

• pipedream_up42_webhook_order_status_handler.py: incoming HTTP validation and order status filtering.

• validate_webhook.py: incoming HTTP validation for both job and order status filtering.

• httpx_client_ngrok.py: forward the webhook to our local OpenResty instance.

OpenResty configuration and Lua module

The openresty directory contains:

• default.conf: server configuration.

• lua: directory containing the up42webhooks.lua module that implements a webhook record collection system. I.e., all webhook requests forwarded by pipedream get collected in a in-memory key-value store, that persists across requests and OpenResty reloads, so that we can consult them at our leisure.

Jupyter notebook

In the notebook directory there is a Python Jupyter notebook that makes use of the SDK webhooks implementation.

• sdk_webhooks_testing.ipynb.

Makefile

The server side setup runs from a Makefile. The configuration for the Makefile is in config.mk.

The Makefile has the following targets:

• run: run OpenResty from a dockerhub image using port 9888.
• list: list the containers using port 9888.
• test: test the nginx/OpenResty configuration (do nginx -t on the running container).
• reload: reload the OpenResty configuration.
• restart: restart OpenResty. N.B.: It clears the shared memory zone.
• stop: stop OpenResty.
• logs: show the OpenResty logs.
