What This API Endpoint Does

With the Webhooks API you create or delete webhooks from available webhook events. Whoever has access to the app where the webhook is sending the information sees course completion, course submission for publication, user and group enrollment in courses and learning paths, or when a user is added to your Rise account.

You can also use this endpoint to get a list of webhooks or details of a specific webhook.

Endpoints

  • POST /webhooks - create a new webhook

  • GET /webhooks - list webhooks

  • GET /webhooks/{webhookId} - get details of a webhook by webhook id

  • DELETE /webhooks/{webhookId} - delete a webhook by webhook id

Webhook Object

  • id (string) - the unique identifier of the webhook

  • targetUrl (string) - the URL of the webhook endpoint on your server

  • sharedSecret (string) - a secret used to generate a signature for each request. Only returned when creating a webhook.

  • events (list of webhook events) - the list of webhook events enabled for this webhook

  • apiVersion (string) - Rise API Version used when sending the webhook event

Create Webhook

POST /webhooks

Request Parameters (JSON)

  • targetUrl (string, required)

  • events (list of events, required)

  • sharedSecret (string, optional)

  • apiVersion (string, optional) - Rise API Version to use for the webhook event. If not provided, will default to the Rise-API-Version header sent in the request, or, if that's not specified, the initial Rise API Version, 2020-07-16
