How is a webhook payload signed?

Every request carries the header X-Webhook-Signature: sha256=. The signature is an HMAC-SHA256 over timestamp + "." + rawBody using your signing secret. APITube also sends X-Webhook-Id (the subscription id), X-Webhook-Delivery-Id, and X-Webhook-Timestamp. Recompute the HMAC and compare it before trusting the body.

What does a delivery contain?

An HTTP POST with the event "articles.new", the webhook_id, a delivered_at timestamp, and an articles array. Each article has the same shape as /v1/news/everything, and up to 100 articles are sent per delivery. Respond with any 2xx status to acknowledge; a non-2xx response or a timeout after 30 seconds marks the delivery as failed.

What happens if my endpoint is down?

Failed deliveries are retried automatically. After several consecutive failures the webhook is disabled to protect your endpoint — re-enable it from the dashboard once it is healthy again. A subscription is always in one of three states: active, paused, or disabled.

How many webhooks can I have?

The limit is counted across your whole account by plan: Free 1, Basic 5, Professional 20, Corporate 100.

Can I manage webhooks from the API?

Yes. Existing webhooks can be listed, inspected, updated (url, filters, or status), and deleted via /v1/webhooks. Creation itself stays in the dashboard, where plan limits are enforced.

How are webhooks billed?

Creating and managing webhooks is free. Each delivered article costs 1 point, charged to the key the webhook was created with. Deliveries made with a test key are masked and not billed.
