Webhooks
Webhook events
CloudConvert can notify your application about the status of jobs. You can create and manage your webhooks on the CloudConvert dashboard.
Available Webhook Events
job.created
|
Emitted when a new job was just created. |
---|---|
job.finished
|
A job (and all associated tasks) completed successfully. The payload includes the job as shown by the example payload on the right. |
job.failed
|
A job failed. |
Error Handling
If the request fails (network error) or your server returns with HTTP error >=500, we will retry the request 3 times while waiting some time in between. If your webhook URL returns an HTTP error 410 (Gone) we will automatically disable the webhook. You can reenable the webhook on the CloudConvert dashboard.
If your webhook is failing you will receive an email notification.
Signing
Our requests are cryptographically signed. If you receive a webhook, you should validate it to make sure it comes from us. Each webhook has a unique signing secret. You can show the signing secret in your webhook settings using the button.
The CloudConvert-Signature
header contains a hash-based message authentication code
(HMAC)
with SHA-256.
As an example, the following PHP function call calculates the signature for validation:
$signature = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, $signingSecret);
$payload
is the full request body (the JSON string) of our request to the webhook
URL. You can find the $signingSecret
for your webhook in your webhook settings.
