REST API v2: POST webhook

This method is used to create a new webhook with the REST API. It uses an HTTP POST request to the following address:

https://api.copernica.com/v2/webhooks?access_token=xxxx

After a successful call the ID of the created webhook is returned.

Available parameters

Parameter Description
handler The URL of the webhook's endpoint that wil handle the call.
trigger The event that will trigger this webhook.
callers Specify what callers may trigger the webhook. This parameter is optional. If no callers are specified, all possible callers are applied.
database Optional: The ID of the database that this webhook is limited to.
collection Optional: The ID of the collection that this webhook is limited to.

PHP example

The following PHP script demonstrates how to use the API method:

// dependencies
require_once('copernica-rest-api.php');

// change this into your access token
$api = new CopernicaRestAPI("your-access-token", 2);

// data to be sent to the api
$data = array(
    'handler'   =>  'https://my-webhook-url.com',
    'trigger'   =>  'create',
    'callers'   =>  array('publisher','ms'),
    'database'  =>  1017
);

// do the call
$api->post("webhooks", $data);

The example above requires the CopernicaRestApi class.
