webhookd-sdk (Python)

Official Python SDK for NimbusNexus Webhooks — publish events, and verify the webhooks you receive.

pip install webhookd-sdk

Verify an incoming webhook (subscribers)

When webhookd delivers a webhook it signs the body with your endpoint's signing secret. Always verify the signature before trusting the payload — it proves the request really came from webhookd and wasn't tampered with or replayed.

from webhookd_sdk import verify

# In your webhook handler — pass the RAW request body bytes (do not re-serialize the JSON):
ok = verify(
    secret=ENDPOINT_SIGNING_SECRET,
    raw_body=request.body,
    signature=request.headers["X-Webhook-Signature"],
    timestamp=request.headers["X-Webhook-Timestamp"],
)
if not ok:
    return Response(status_code=400)  # forged, tampered, or outside the 300s replay window

Publish an event (producers)

from webhookd_sdk import Client, WebhookdAPIError

with Client("https://webhooks.example.com", api_key="whsk_…") as wh:
    try:
        event = wh.publish(
            "order.created",
            {"order_id": "ord_123", "total": 4200},
            idempotency_key="order-123",   # makes the publish safe to retry
        )
        print(event.event_uid, event.deliveries_created)
    except WebhookdAPIError as e:
        print(e.status_code, e.code, e.message)   # the stable {error:{code,message}} envelope

Transient failures (connection errors, 429, 5xx) are retried with backoff (a 429 honours Retry-After); other 4xx raise WebhookdAPIError.
