README — GET /api/v1/webhooks/{id}

One endpoint#

GET /api/v1/webhooks/{id} · Operation ID: getWebhook

Purpose and app behavior#

Inspect one configured receiver and its last delivery outcome. The secret cannot be retrieved here. Do not confuse retrying delivery with a successful application-side action.

Authentication#

Bearer token with webhooks:manage. Resource access and effective policy still apply.

Example request#

Replace all REPLACE_* placeholders and environment values with data for your authorized test account. Use a new UUID in IDEMPOTENCY_KEY for each logical action where shown; use the actual latest revision for If-Match. Examples of writes change real data if run.
curl --fail-with-body -X GET 'https://handwrites.io/api/v1/webhooks/REPLACE_WEBHOOK_ID' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANDWRITE_API_KEY"

Parameters#

NameLocationRequiredMeaning
