Webhooks
Webhooks provide a powerful way to receive real-time notifications of events in your system.
NOTE: V3 is currently in the beta phase and is subject to change.
Overview
When certain events occur, our API will send an HTTP POST request to the specified URL, delivering a payload with event details. This enables you to automate reactions or synchronize data without the need for polling.
Events
Here are the currently supported events you can subscribe to:
pud:status_update
Status changes on a PUD
pud:price_update
Price changes on a PUD
Webhook payloads
When an event occurs, we'll send a POST request to the callback_url. The data object will depend on the eventType. See the payload data examples below.
NOTE: If a secret was provided when creating a webhook, we'll use it to create a hash signature that's sent in the X-Hub-Signature-256
header.
Headers
X-Hub-Signature-256
sha256=<signature>
Body
id
string
Id of event
eventType
string
Type of event
timestamp
Date
Date and time of event

Payload data (see below)
Validating webhook deliveries
If you provided a secret when creating a webhook, Gire will use it, along with the payload, to create a hash signature that is sent in the X-Hub-Signature-256
header. You can use this to verify the integrity and authenticity of the webhook payload.
Example validation
Receive payload and signature: Your server gets the payload and the
X-Hub-Signature-256
header.Generate signature: Use HMAC SHA-256 with the secret and the raw payload to compute a hash.
Compare signature: Compare your computed hash with the signature received in the header. If they match, the payload is verified and authentic.
