Webhooks packages to simplify payload signing
· 4 min read
A few weeks back I became aware of an attempt to create a technology agnostic standard to send and receive webhooks securely. The proposal is here.
In my opinion, the standard is straightforward and non-controversial. The only part that is mandatory is the signing part, other parts are optional and somehow suggesting best practices.
In the standard-webhooks repo you'll find multiple sample implementations and some links to community implementations including one for C#. I was researching webhooks standards to implement my own packages and to play a bit with copilot agent on github. So I decided to go ahead and do it.
