web-hooky

Performs a GET against a source queryUrl and requries per queryInterval, then does a POST to hookUrl. You can specify Basic auth credentials and other options. This is a working prototype, but not a supported product. Use at your own discretion.

Getting started

Install and start

• Install Node.js if you don't already have it.
• Clone this repo, then from bash:

npm install
npm start

Create a Webhook for a source and target

Now you must POST the definition of a hook to the server at /hook.

Example:

Using cURL:

curl -i -X POST \
   -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
   -d \
'{
  	"queryCreds": "admin:admin",
  	"queryUrl": "https://www14.v1host.com/v1sdktesting/api/ActivityStream/Story%3a1124",
  	"queryRequeryParamsTemplate": "activityId=:body.id&direction=forward",
  	"queryInterval": 5000,
  	"hookUrl": "http://requestb.in/ol98pmol"
 }' \
 'http://localhost:9090/hook'
