Create a webhook for a repository

POST
/repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/hooks

Creates a new webhook on the specified repository.

Example:

$ curl -X POST -u credentials -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
  https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/my-workspace/my-repo-slug/hooks
  -d '
    {
      "description": "Webhook Description",
      "url": "https://example.com/",
      "active": true,
      "secret": "this is a really bad secret",
      "events": [
        "repo:push",
        "issue:created",
        "issue:updated"
      ]
    }'

When the secret is provided it will be used as the key to generate a HMAC digest value sent in the X-Hub-Signature header at delivery time. Passing a null or empty secret or not passing a secret will leave the webhook’s secret unset. Bitbucket only generates the X-Hub-Signature when the webhook’s secret is set.

Note that this call requires the webhook scope, as well as any scope that applies to the events that the webhook subscribes to. In the example above that means: webhook, repository and issue.

Also note that the url must properly resolve and cannot be an internal, non-routed address.

secret_set

Indicates whether or not the hook has an associated secret. It is not possible to see the hook’s secret. This field is ignored during updates.

boolean
secret

The secret to associate with the hook. The secret is never returned via the API. As such, this field is only used during updates. The secret can be set to null or “” to remove the secret (or create a hook with no secret). Leaving out the secret field during updates will leave the secret unchanged. Leaving out the secret during creation will create a hook with no secret.
