Testing Webhooks

Once you've implemented a Webhook handler and registered it within the Upvest Investment API, it's time to test if it is working as expected.

 →    Test your Webhook

To make sure that you have set up your Webhook correctly, you can send a GET /webhooks/{id}/test request. This will trigger test Webhook data to be sent to the URL you specified when you registered the Webhook.

The {id} specified is the one included in the payload of the response to a successful POST /webhooks.

The response to the trigger request contains the body, status and headers that we received in response to the POST request to https://tenant.tld/webhooks/users. The following example shows the response to a successful test:

{
    "url": "https://tenant.tld/webhooks/users",
    "response": {
        "status": 200,
        "headers": {
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
            "Content-Length": "19",
            "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            "Date": "Fri, 15 Oct 2021 16:03:17 GMT",
            "X-Powered-By": "Express"
        },
        "body": "{ \"success\": true }"
    }
}
