pywhook 1.1.7

Python wrapper for webhook.site API

pywhook

pywhook is a Python client library for interacting with webhook.site, allowing you to easily create webhook tokens, receive requests, set custom responses, and manage webhook listeners asynchronously.

Features

• Create and delete webhook tokens.
• Retrieve requests received by a token.
• Wait for incoming webhook requests.
• Attach callbacks that trigger on new requests.
• Customize default responses.
• Thread-safe listener management.
• Download files sent to the webhook.
• Context manager support for automatic cleanup.

Installation

pip install pywhook

Usage

Common functionalities

from pywhook import Webhook 
import pprint
import time

pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=2)

# Create a new webhook token
print("Creating a new token...")
token_data = Webhook.create_token()
pp.pprint(token_data)

token_id = token_data.get("uuid")
if not token_id:
    print("Failed to create token. Exiting test.")
    exit(1)

# Initialize webhook instance
webhook = Webhook(token_id)
print(f"Using webhook URL: {webhook.url}")

# Get token details
print("\nGetting token details...")
details = webhook.get_token_details()
pp.pprint(details)

# Set a default response
print("\nSetting default response...")
resp = webhook.set_response(content="Hello from test!", status=201, content_type="text/plain")
pp.pprint(resp)

# Get URLs formats
print("\nWebhook URLs:")
for url in webhook.urls:
    print(url)

# Fetch requests (should be empty initially)
print("\nFetching requests...")
requests_list = webhook.get_requests()
pp.pprint(requests_list)

print("\nTesting wait_for_request (no exception expected)...")
print(webhook.wait_for_request(timeout=10))


# Test wait_for_request with a timeout (expect timeout error since no request will come)
print("\nTesting wait_for_request (expecting timeout)...")
try:
    webhook.wait_for_request(timeout=1)
except TimeoutError as e:
    print(f"Timeout as expected: {e}")

# Define a callback function for on_request
def my_callback(req):
    print("\nCallback triggered for new request:")
    pp.pprint(req)

# Start listening for new requests
print("\nStarting on_request listener thread (will listen for 5 seconds)...")
webhook.on_request(my_callback)

# Normally, here you would send a test request to webhook.url externally
# For testing, we just wait to simulate listening
time.sleep(5)

# Detach all callbacks (stop listening)
print("\nDetaching all callbacks...")
webhook.detach_all_callbacks()

# Finally, delete the token to clean up
print("\nDeleting token...")
webhook.delete_token()
print("Test complete. All tests passed. No issues present.")

Download a file sent via the webhook.

receiver.py

from pywhook import Webhook 

# Create the token
token_data = Webhook.create_token()

# Initialize webhook instance
webhook = Webhook(token_id)
print(f"Using webhook URL: {webhook.url}")

# Wait for the response that has the file attachment.
req = webhook.wait_for_request(timeout=60)

print("Received request:", req)

files = webhook.download_request_content(req)
print(f"Found {len(files.items())} file(s) attached.")

for key, file_data in files.items():
    ext = file_data["filename"].split(".")[-1]
    filename = f"downloaded_{key}.{ext}"
    with open(filename, "wb") as f:
        f.write(file_data["bytes"])
    print(f"Saved file {filename} ({file_data['size']} bytes)")

sender.py

#client.py
import requests

webhook_url = "https://webhook.site/uuid"

# Open the PNG file in binary mode
files = {"testkey1": ("temp.jpg", open("temp.jpg", "rb"), "image/jpg"),
         "testkey2": ("temp2.jpeg", open("temp2.jpeg", "rb"), "image/jpeg")}
    
response = requests.post(webhook_url, files=files)



print(f"Status code: {response.status_code}")
print("Response text:", response.text)
