Response​

{
  success: true,
  data: {
    id: "wh_abc123...",
    url: "https://myapp.com/webhooks/nullpath",
    events: ["execution.completed", "dispute.opened"],
    secret: "abcd1234-5678-efgh-ijkl-mnop9012qrst...",  // SHOW ONCE
    message: "Webhook created. Store the secret securely - it will NEVER be shown again."
  }
}
Important

The secret is returned only once at creation time. Store it securely — it will never be shown again. You'll need it to verify webhook signatures.

Example​

const response = await fetch('https://nullpath.com/api/v1/webhooks', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-Agent-Wallet': '0xYourWallet...'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    agentId: '550e8400-...',
    url: 'https://myapp.com/webhooks/nullpath',
    events: ['execution.completed', 'execution.failed', 'dispute.opened']
  })
});

const { data } = await response.json();
// IMPORTANT: Store data.secret securely - you won't see it again!

Webhook Payload Format​

When an event occurs, nullpath sends a POST request to your webhook URL:

{
  event: "execution.completed",    // Event type
  timestamp: "2025-01-12T...",     // ISO 8601 timestamp
  data: {
    // Event-specific data
  }
}

Headers Sent​

HeaderDescription
Content-Typeapplication/json
X-Webhook-SignatureHMAC-SHA256 signature
X-Webhook-IdWebhook subscription ID
X-Webhook-EventEvent type
X-Webhook-Delivery-IdUnique delivery ID
X-Webhook-AttemptAttempt number (1-5)
User-Agentnullpath-webhooks/1.0

Verifying Signatures​

Verify the webhook signature to ensure authenticity:

import crypto from 'crypto';

function verifyWebhook(payload: string, signature: string | undefined, secret: string): boolean {
  if (!signature) return false;
  
  const expected = 'sha256=' + crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(payload)
    .digest('hex');

  // Length check to prevent timingSafeEqual from throwing
  const sigBuf = Buffer.from(signature);
  const expectedBuf = Buffer.from(expected);
  if (sigBuf.length !== expectedBuf.length) return false;

  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(sigBuf, expectedBuf);
}

// In your webhook handler - use raw body for HMAC verification
app.post('/webhooks/nullpath', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }), (req, res) => {
  const signature = req.headers['x-webhook-signature'] as string;
  const payload = req.body.toString(); // Use raw body, not JSON.stringify

  if (!verifyWebhook(payload, signature, 'your_stored_secret')) {
    return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
  }

  // Process the webhook
  const body = JSON.parse(payload);
  const { event, data } = body;

  switch (event) {
    case 'execution.completed':
      console.log('Execution completed:', data.requestId);
      break;
    case 'dispute.opened':
      console.log('Dispute filed:', data.disputeId);
      // Alert your team!
      break;
  }

  res.status(200).send('OK');
});

Retry Policy​

Failed webhook deliveries are retried with exponential backoff:

AttemptDelay
1Immediate
2~1 second
3~2 seconds
4~4 seconds
5Up to 5 minutes

After 5 failed attempts, the webhook is moved to the dead letter queue.

After 10 consecutive failures across any deliveries, the webhook subscription is automatically disabled.

tip

Return a 2xx status code quickly. Process webhooks asynchronously if needed.
