# In your HTTP handler:
try:
    payload = wh.verify(
        body=request.body,                                # raw bytes or str
        signature=request.headers["X-Clavex-Signature"], # sha256=<hex>
    )

# Django
@csrf_exempt
def webhook(request):
    wh = Webhook(settings.CLAVEX_WEBHOOK_SECRET)
    try:
        payload = wh.verify(request.body, request.headers.get("X-Clavex-Signature", ""))
    except WebhookVerificationError:
        return HttpResponse(status=400)
    handle_event(json.loads(payload))
    return HttpResponse(status=200)

API

Webhook(secret)

Create a verifier. secret may include the whsec_ prefix — it is stripped automatically.

webhook.verify(body, signature) → bytes

Verify and return the raw body. Raises WebhookVerificationError on failure.

verify(secret, signature, body) → bytes

Convenience one-shot function.

Signature format

Clavex sends X-Clavex-Signature: sha256=<HMAC-SHA256-hex> computed over the raw request body using your webhook secret.
