Central & Decentral Webhooks

Central Webhooks

Note

To use central webhooks, ensure you grant the scope permission webhook.central in the OAuth 2 Authorization Code

Central webhooks are the default setup for receiving webhooks. This implies that all webhooks will be sent to one single webhook URL.

This webhook URL is defined during the Advanced API application process, but it can be updated within your Nuki Web account.

You can also choose which device triggered webhooks should be sent to this webhook URL via the checkboxes.

Decentral Webhooks

Note

To use decentral webhooks, ensure you grant the scope permission webhook.decentral in the OAuth 2 Authorization Code

Decentral webhooks imply that webhooks will be sent to different webhook URLs.

You must register decentral webhooks via an API request.

Tip

The settings for webhooks in Nuki Web are ignored for decentral webhooks, as these settings only apply for central webhooks

You can register decentral webhooks via a PUT request to the decentralWebhook endpoint.

The payload must include the URL of the webhook, as well as the types of webhooks you wish to register. Here is an example payload:

{
    "webhookUrl": "https://decentral123.example.com",
    "webhookFeatures": [
        "DEVICE_STATUS", "DEVICE_MASTERDATA", "DEVICE_CONFIG", "DEVICE_LOGS", "DEVICE_AUTHS", "ACCOUNT_USER"
    ]
}

The response contains the identifier of the decentral webhook, as well as a secret.

{
    "id": 123456789,
    "secret": "xxx...",
    "webhookUrl": "https://decentral123.example.com",
    "webhookFeatures": [
        "DEVICE_STATUS", "DEVICE_MASTERDATA", "DEVICE_CONFIG", "DEVICE_LOGS", "DEVICE_AUTHS", "ACCOUNT_USER"
    ]
}

Tip

Keep this secret safe. We use it to sign every webhook sent to this URL, so you can check that a webhook really came from Nuki. See Verifying Webhooks to learn how.

Note

Only Device Triggered Webhooks will be sent to decentral webhook URLs. API Triggered Webhooks will always be sent to the Central URL.

There are also dedicated endpoints for fetching all decentral webhooks, as well as deleting any that you no longer require. See the API reference for more information.
