How do webhooks work in different programming languages?

Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks that are triggered by specific events. They can be implemented in various programming languages like Python, JavaScript, and Ruby. Would you like examples in a specific language?

Yes, can you show me an example in Python?

Sure! In Python, you can use Flask to create a simple webhook. Here's a basic example:

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def webhook():
    data = request.json
    print(data)  # Process the data
    return 'Webhook received!', 200

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000)

This sets up a webhook endpoint that listens for POST requests.

What about in JavaScript?

In JavaScript, you can use Node.js with Express to create a webhook. Here's a simple example:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
    console.log(req.body);  // Process the data
    res.status(200).send('Webhook received!');
});

app.listen(3000, () => {
    console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

This sets up a webhook endpoint that listens for POST requests.
