Webhooks

Webhooks allow you to notify external systems whenever an event occurs in your OpenCodeHub repositories.

Supported Events

• push: Triggered when code is pushed.
• pull_request: Triggered on PR open, close, reopen, merge.
• issue: Triggered on issue creation or updates.

configuration

1. Navigate to Repository Settings > Webhooks.
2. Click Add Webhook.
3. Payload URL: The external URL to send the POST request to.
4. Content Type: application/json (recommended) or application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
5. Secret: detailed shared secret to sign payload (HMAC SHA-256).
6. Events: Select “Just the push event” or “Send me everything”.

Verifying Signatures

OpenCodeHub sends a X-Hub-Signature-256 header. You should verify this in your consumer code to ensure the request came from OpenCodeHub.

Node.js Example:

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifySignature(payload, signature, secret) {
  const hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret);
  const digest = 'sha256=' + hmac.update(payload).digest('hex');
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(digest));
}

Debugging

You can view the “Recent Deliveries” list in the Webhook settings page to see:

• Request headers and payload.
• Response status code and body.
• Delivery duration.
