Webhook signatures need to be verified in order to guarantee that the webhook was sent from our system and was not tampered with via a man in the middle attack.

​
Public Key

Upon configuring a webhook, a cryptographic public key is generated for verifying the webhook message signatures. This verification process assures the authencity and integrity of the webhook message.

Retrieve Public Key

That key can be retrieved by making a GET request to /webhooks/key
  curl --request GET \
    --url https://api.pipevest.com/v1/webhooks/key \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer 123456' \
    --header 'Signature: sig1=:OTEyMjY4...A5NTNDMEQ=:' \
    --header 'Signature-Input: sig1=("Content-Type" "Content-Digest" "Content-Length" "Authorization" "X-Client-Id" "X-Idempotency-Key" "@method" "@target-uri" "@path" "@query");keyid="staging-pipevest-ed25519";created=1732893484;expires=1732893584' \
    --header 'X-Client-Id: 123456' \
