Download webhook definitions and webhook payloads schema

You can download the latest index.json file from unpkg

Usage as Node module

To get an array of all webhook definition objects, require the @octokit/webhooks-examples package.

// Use Node.js require: const WEBHOOKS = require("@octokit/webhooks-examples/api.github.com/index.json"); // Or ESM/TypeScript import: import WEBHOOKS from "@octokit/webhooks-examples/api.github.com/index.json";

How it works

This package updates itself using a daily cronjob running on GitHub Actions. The index.json file is generated by bin/octokit-webhooks.ts. Run npm run octokit-webhooks -- --usage for instructions. After the update is complete, run npm run build:webhooks and npm run build:schema to update index.json and schema.json files.

The update script is scraping GitHub’s Webhooks Event Types & Payloads documentation page and extracts the meta information using cheerio.

For simpler local testing and tracking of changes all loaded pages are cached in the cache/ folder.

Adding examples

• All payloads should end with .payload.json.
• They should be placed in the folder whose name matches the event they're an example of.
• If the payload has an action, that should be the start of the filename followed by a ..

E.g.

• check_run/completed.payload.json
• check_run/completed.with-organization.payload.json
• check_run/rerequested.payload.json
• check_run/rerequested.with-organization.payload.json
• create/payload.json
• create/with-description.payload.json

After making any changes to example payloads, run npm run build:webhooks -- --cached to update the exported index.json file
