The Webhooks API allows you to configure endpoints which will receive PUSH events from AutoGrab.
This API requires authentication and appropriate license attached to it.
Webhook Events
There are several types of events that you can listen to using the Webhooks API. The names and descriptions of each of these events are included below.
You can find example payloads for each of these events at the bottom of this page.
Name
Definition
Currently, only the ping, recapture_new and price_change events are in use. You can still configure your webhooks to listen to the other events to enable these events once they are supported.
If you need immediate access to Recapture price change and delist events for your use-case, please reach out to us at info@autograb.com.au
Create a new Webhook
To set up a webhook event subscriber, you'll first need to create the webhook using the AutoGrab API.
You must provide a few options in the request body:
name: A name for the webhook. This is used for reference only.
region: The region that you want to subscribe to events in (au)
format: The format that you want the PUSH events to be sent in (Currently, only json is supported)
endpoint: The HTTP endpoint that you want the webhook to push to. You can include URL parameters in this to facilitate token-based auth.
You can explore this request further in the API Playground.
Get the configuration of a single webhook
A GET request to /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}?region={REGION} will return the configuration of the webhook with the corresponding ID.
The payloads are the same as the /v2/webhooks route but only a single webhook is returned instead of an array.
If you try to access a webhook in a different region to the one specified in the request, you will receive an Invalid Region error. Additionally, accessing a webhook that your account does not have permission to view will return a You don't have permission to access that webhook error.
If you attempt to view a webhook that doesn't exist, you will receive an Invalid Webhook ID error.
You can explore this request further in the API Playground.
Modify the configuration of a single webhook
A PATCH request to /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}?region={REGION} allows you to modify any of the properties of the corresponding Webhook.
Only the fields specified in the request body will be modified, and passing a blank ("") value will remove the property from the webhook where applicable.
The response includes the updated webhook, as well as a map of every property that changed.
The same errors as the above (GET /v2/webhooks/${WEBHOOK_ID}) request apply, and a Request validation failed error may also be thrown if you provide any invalid Webhook Event names. Refer to the top of this page for a list of Webhook Events and their descriptions.
You can explore this request further in the API Playground.
Delete a webhook
A DELETE request to /v2/webhooks/{WEBHOOK_ID}?region={REGION} will permenantly delete the webhook.
The response payload includes the configuration of the deleted webhook, as seen in the examples below.
You may receive a small number of additional messages on your webhook's endpoint after deleting the webhook due to queued messages being sent through, but no new messages will be sent to your webhook after it has been deleted, and there is no way to recover the webhook without re-creating it.
You can explore this request further in the API Playground.
