Step 1: Connect

Your API keys allow multiple simultaneous connections. Connect to:

wss://my.webhookrelay.com/v1/socket

Step 2: Authenticate

You must authenticate before you can make any other requests. Generate a new key & secret pair in your tokens page (https://my.webhookrelay.com/tokens). To authenticate, send:

{
    "action":"auth",
    "key":"YOUR_KEY",
    "secret":"YOUR_SECRET"
}

Once authenticated, you will receive the following message:

{
    "type": "status",
    "status": "authenticated",
    "message": "connected successfully, subscribe to buckets"
}

Step 3: Subscribe to webhooks stream

Once authenticated, you can request a stream. Buckets (https://my.webhookrelay.com/buckets) are used for grouping and routing. You can request multiple bucket streams. To subscribe, send:

{
    "action":"subscribe",
    "buckets": [ "my-1-bucket-name", "my-2-bucket-id" ]
}

Field buckets works as a filter, checking for bucket ID or bucket name. To subscribe to all buckets in your account, send only {"action":"subscribe"} message.

Once subscribed, you will receive the following message, confirming your stream:

{
    "type": "status",
    "status": "subscribed",
    "message": "subscribed to buckets: my-1-bucket-name, my-2-bucket-id"
}

{
  "type": "webhook",             // event type

    "bucked_id": "1593fe5f-45f9-45cc-ba23-675fdc7c1638", 
    "bucket_name": "my-1-bucket-name",                                
    "input_id": "b90f2fe9-621d-4290-9e74-edd5b61325dd",
    "input_name": "Default public endpoint",
    "output_name": "111",
        "output_destination": "http://localhost:8080"
  },
  "headers": {                   // request headers
    "Content-Type": [
      "application/json"
    ]
  },
  "query": "foo=bar",            // query (ie: /some-path?foo=bar)
  "body": "{\"hi\": \"there\"}", // request body
  "method": "PUT"                // request method
}
