A Webhook is a way for one system to send real-time data to another system when a specific event occurs. Instead of constantly checking (or "polling") for updates, a webhook automatically sends the update when it happens.eg. status update,refunds,any transection updte,system update, etc.
How it works on KwikAPI:
- Set a Webhook URL:
In your KwikAPI dashboard > , you can configure a webhook by setting your server’s endpoint (URL) where you want to receive data. - Triggering Events:
When certain events occur in your KwikAPI account (such as a successful transaction, status update, etc.), KwikAPI will automatically send an HTTP POST request to your configured Webhook URL. - Payload/Data:
The POST request will contain a payload — typically in JSON format — with all the relevant data about the event. Your server can then process this data in real time. - Response:
Your server should respond with a status code (e.g., 200 OK) to confirm it received the webhook successfully. If not, KwikAPI may retry sending it.
Example Use Case:
Let’s say you’re using KwikAPI for recharge services. When a recharge is completed, KwikAPI sends the transaction details instantly to your Webhook URL. Your system can then update the user’s dashboard or send a confirmation message—automatically and in real time.
