Step 1: endpoint
Some endpoint use the webhook concept, especially endpoint that have a duration longer than 500ms. e.g. For example the endpoint: /backup/owner
Step 2: flow
Post to the endpoint
supply a return webhook_url, this URL must be public accessible
URL must start with HTTPSAfter the long process is ready
The webhook_url will be called from the Autoflex10 server with a get
An id=<secret uuid> will be added to your supplied webhook_urlDo a GET on the /webhook endpoint, to get the payload information e.g. an URL to a download file
supply the <secret uuid> you got from the webhook call
This endpoint will return the payload, mostly an URLGet the provided payload URL, in case of an file url, download the file with a GET on the URL.
Sample code
Below sample code in a single contained file. The code itself is TypeScript.
Run this file with Deno, for installation see: https://deno.land/
Copy and Paste sample into a new TS file, name it: webhook_test.ts
Install Deno, see: https://deno.land/
Supply, api_key, username and password (line 9, 10 & 11)
Start ngrok, see: https://ngrok.com/download
Supply ngrok, https url (line 17)
Run this code: deno run --allow-net webhook_test.ts
Check the output
