Note

You can also use wildcards when creating webhooks. For example, to refer to all card webhooks, use card*.

The following is an example of a request to create webhook subscriptions.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0.1/webhooks \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Authorization: YOUR-AUTHORIZATION' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --header 'Identity: YOUR-IDENTITY' \
     --data '

The following is an example of a response to a successful request to create webhook subscriptions.

{
  "webhook_subscription": {
    "id": "487a7f29-7b80-467d-b20d-7b60c3a14cf0",
    "url": "https://hostname.com/webhook/route",
    "description": "KYC state changes.",
    "events": [
      "card.created",
          "kyc.verification.success",
          "kyc.verification.failure",
          "kyc.verification.error",
          "kyc.verification.timeout"
    ],
    "version": "0.1",
    "secret": "whsec_ira5jceuzhxxBxoWckAU0hLFQe79bSMZ",
    "status": "STATUS_ENABLED",
    "created_time": "2022-06-09T18:23:37.585421Z",
    "updated_time": "2022-06-09T18:23:37.585421Z"
  }
}

The response contains a unique webhook "secret" string, (in this example, whsec_ira5jceuzhxxBxoWckAU0hLFQe79bSMZ), that you should store securely. This string is used to verify the signature of requests from the webhooks API to the provided callback URL and can be retrieved at any time using the webhooks API.
