Webhook Relay’s allows users to receive webhooks inside their application without having public IP, domain or even running a web server themselves. Here’s a short example application written in JavaScript that subscribes to a stream of webhooks:
// client.js
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://my.webhookrelay.com/v1/socket');
var apiKey = process.env.RELAY_KEY;
var apiSecret = process.env.RELAY_SECRET;
ws.on('open', function open() {
// on connection, send our authentication request
ws.send(JSON.stringify({action: 'auth', key: apiKey, secret: apiSecret}));
});
ws.on('close', function close() {
console.log('disconnected');
});
ws.on('message', function incoming(data) {
console.log(data)
var msg = JSON.parse(data);
if (msg.type === 'status' && msg.status === 'authenticated') {
// if we got authentication confirmation, send subscribe event to the server
ws.send(JSON.stringify({action: 'subscribe', buckets: ['123']}));
}
});
To run:
1. Install websocket library ws:
npm i ws
2. Set token key and secret (generate at tokens page):
