What are Webhooks?

Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks that are triggered by specific events in a system. Unlike traditional APIs where you need to poll for data regularly, webhooks deliver data to your applications as events occur. This "push-based" approach is more efficient and allows for real-time data processing.

SenseAnywhere Webhook System

The SenseAnywhere webhook system enables you to receive real-time notifications for device events, including status changes, connectivity updates, and sensor readings.

When an event occurs in the SenseAnywhere platform, our system will send an HTTP POST request to the URL you've configured. The request body will contain data about the event in a standardized format, allowing your application to process and respond to these events accordingly.

Benefits of Webhooks

  • Real-time data: Receive instant notifications about events as they happen
  • Integration flexibility: Connect SenseAnywhere data with your existing systems and workflows
  • Event filtering: Configure which types of events you want to receive
