# Create webhook

> `kind`:
- `webhook` (default): POST of the event JSON, signed with `appgoat-signature: t=<unix>,v1=<hex HMAC-SHA256(secret, "<t>.<raw body>")>`.
  The `secret` is returned once, here (rotate with PATCH rotate_secret). Answer 2xx within 10 s.
- `slack`: `url` is a Slack incoming webhook (https://hooks.slack.com/services/…).
- `github`: `url` is `owner/repo`, `github_token` a fine-grained token with Contents: read and write on it.
  Sends `{ event_type: "appgoat.<type>", client_payload: <event> }` to start a workflow `on: repository_dispatch`.
Failed deliveries are retried after 1 min, 5 min, 30 min, 2 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h; an endpoint failing 50 times
in a row is disabled (PATCH active=true re-enables it). Free plan: 402 plan_limit (use GET /v1/events).




## OpenAPI

````yaml openapi.json POST /webhooks
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: AppGoat API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: App Store + Google Play data for agents and apps.
  description: >
    Every app and developer in both stores, daily top charts, reviews, change
    feeds, metric history and keyword

    (search-rank) intelligence.


    **Conventions**

    - `{app}` accepts anything that identifies an app: an App Store id
    (`284882215`, `id284882215`), a Play
      package (`com.spotify.music`), an Apple bundle id (`com.spotify.client`), a store URL, `apple:<id>` /
      `play:<id>`, or a name (`spotify` → best match, with a warning in `meta.warnings`). Add `store=apple|play`
      to disambiguate. `data.linked` is the same app in the other store when we know it.
    - Freshness is automatic: app-scoped reads refresh data older than `max_age`
    seconds from the store first
      (1 credit per country fetched, capped at 10). `wait=true` (default) blocks up to ~25 s; on timeout, or with
      `wait=false`, you get the cached data with `meta.freshness.refreshing: true` and a `job_id` to poll at
      `GET /v1/jobs/{id}` (free).
    - `country` defaults to `us`; pass a comma list (paid plans) or `all`
    (Studio).

    - `include=` adds sections, `fields=` keeps only the listed top-level
    fields, lists page with `cursor`
      (pass `meta.next_cursor` back unchanged).
    - Every success is `{ data, meta }`; `meta.credits_used` is what the call
    cost and `meta.credits_remaining`
      what is left. Errors are `{ error: { code, message, hint, docs } }`: read `hint`, it says what to do next.
    - `x-credits` on each operation documents its price.

    - Watches turn store changes into events: `POST /v1/watches`, then poll `GET
    /v1/events` or add a webhook
      (`POST /v1/webhooks`). Watches, events and webhooks are free; only the plan's watched-app and keyword-slot
      limits apply. `/v1/tracked-keywords` is deprecated: use keyword watches.
