​
Events

The following webhook events are available:

  • render.completed: Triggered when a video render completes successfully
  • render.failed: Triggered when a video render fails

​
Setting up Webhooks

​
1. Create a Webhook Endpoint

First, create an endpoint on your server to receive webhook events. The endpoint should be publicly accessible.

​
2. Register the Webhook

Register the webhook using the dashboard. Go to dashboard in the webhook panel and add your webhook endpoint.

​
Webhook Payload

When an event occurs, you’ll receive a POST request with the following payload structure:

{
  "event": "render.completed",
  "data": {
    "_id": "render-id",
    "status": "completed",
    "outputUrl": "https://cdn.example.com/video.mp4",
    "error": "",
    "videoId": "video-id",
    "videoVersion": 1
    "videoData": {
      // ... complete video data
    },
    "createdAt": "2024-03-20T10:30:00Z",
    "updatedAt": "2024-03-20T10:31:00Z"
  }
}

Verifying Webhook Signatures

To ensure the webhook request came from us, we include a signature in the X-Signature header. Here’s how to verify it:

const crypto = require("crypto");

function verifyWebhookSignature(payload, signature, secret) {
  const expectedSignature = crypto
    .createHmac("sha256", secret)
    .update(JSON.stringify(payload))
    .digest("hex");

  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(signature),
    Buffer.from(expectedSignature)
  );
}

// In your webhook handler:
app.post("/webhook", (req, res) => {
  const signature = req.headers["X-Signature"];
  const payload = req.body;

  if (!verifyWebhookSignature(payload, signature, "your-webhook-secret")) {
    return res.status(401).send("Invalid signature");
  }

  // Process the webhook
  console.log("Received valid webhook:", payload.event);
  res.status(200).send("OK");
});

​
Best Practices

  1. Always verify the webhook signature
  2. Handle duplicate events (use the render ID as an idempotency key)
  3. Store your webhook secret securely
