Webhook Events

The data sent to your endpoint contains the event object which you can further process on your end. To add or edit an endpoint where the data should be sent to, navigate to Webhooks in your dashboard and click the Change button.

In the modal dialog that appears, enter a URL that accepts HTTP POST requests and returns a status code 2XX (200-299). Additional query parameters appended to the URL are allowed. Also activate the type of events which you would like to receive at that endpoint.

Event Payload

The POST request sent to your endpoint generally contains the event name and its payload. Here is an example for a validation.succeeded event:

{
  "name": "validation.succeeded",
  "payload": {
    "id": "5d1ded3128ca7a842aaf5ed4",
    "active": true,
    "company_address": "3RD FLOOR, GORDON HOUSE, BARROW STREET, DUBLIN 4",
    "company_name": "GOOGLE IRELAND LIMITED",
    "company_type": null,
    "consultation_number": "WAPIAAAAW21qsOHW",
    "country_code": "IE",
    "query": "IE6388047V",
    "type": "eu_vat",
    "valid": true,
    "valid_format": true,
    "vat_number": "6388047V",
    "requested": "2019-07-04T00:00:00.000Z",
    "created": "2019-07-04T12:12:33.322Z",
    "updated": "2019-07-04T12:12:33.322Z"
  },
  "created": "2019-07-04T12:12:33.322Z",
  "updated": "2019-07-04T12:12:33.322Z"
}

Event Authorization

Requests always contain an authorization header to prevent fraudulent requests from being processed on your server. The header includes a X-API-KEY key with your secret key.

"X-API-KEY": "sk_live_c283fd6d793076603646b197c7cb0424"
