API Reference

Getting Started

The Hookdeck REST API allows you to set up connections, retrieve events, and perform actions programmatically.

Get an API key

You'll need to include an API key in every API request. If you do not yet have a Hookdeck account, please sign up for a free account. Your API key is located in your project settings.

To include your API key in requests, use either Bearer Token Authentication or Basic Authentication.

Method	Procedure
Bearer Token Authentication	Include the header `Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY`, replacing `$API_KEY` with your personal key
Basic Authentication	Set the username as your API key, and supply an empty password

Basic Authentication is deprecated and remains supported for backwards compatibility.

curl "https://api.hookdeck.com/2025-07-01/events"
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"

Create your first connection

As an example let's create a connection between a source and a destination. This will allow you to start routing events with Hookdeck.

Minimum parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
name	`string`	Name of the connection to create
source.name	`string`	Name of the source to create
destination.name	`string`	Name of the destination to create
destination.config.url	`string`	HTTP endpoint of the destination

By default, the source is assumed to be of type WEBHOOK and the destination of type HTTP.

Verify your first connection

Verifying the connection lets you know Hookdeck is properly ingesting and processing events from your source.

Copy the unique Hookdeck URL and paste it into your API provider's HTTP URL field. Test the connection by triggering a request on your source. As soon Hookdeck receives your first request, it'll appear in your dashboard.

Congratulations! Your request & events can now be viewed, inspected, filtered, sorted, retried, and so much more using Hookdeck.

{
  "id": "web_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "source": {
    "url": "https://hkdk.events/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    [...]
  },
  [...]
}

Authentication

Scope: This authentication method applies to Hookdeck REST API endpoints (e.g., /events, /requests, /sources) and Hookdeck Publish API endpoints (https://hkdk.events/v1/publish). For authentication when sending requests to a Source URL (e.g., https://hkdk.events/src_123...), see Source Authentication.

Your API key is located in your project settings, and must be included in every API request. Use either Bearer Token Authentication or Basic Authentication.

Method	Procedure
Bearer Token Authentication	Include the header `Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY`, replacing `$API_KEY` with your project key
Basic Authentication	Set the username as your API key, and supply an empty password

Paging

All GET endpoints that retrieve a list of resources are paged using cursor (aka keyset) pagination, which resides in the response body's pagination object.

Parameter	Default	Description
order_by	`"created_at"`	The sortable key to use (options varies base on the resource )
dir	`"desc"`	The direction to sort it (`"asc"` or `"desc"`)
limit	`100`	The making amount of results returned per query (max: `250`)
next	`undefined`	The ID to provide in the query to get the next set of results
prev	`undefined`	The ID to provide in the query to get the previous set of results

Unless you have specified an order_by or dir, you can omit it from the next or previous set query. You only have to carry them over if you are not using the resource default.

Errors

Hookdeck uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request.

Parameter	Type	Description
handled	`boolean`	Error was handled by the API and did not resolve in an uncaught exception
status	`integer`	HTTP status code for the error
message	`string`	Any message associated with the error
data	`object`	Any data related to the error, useful for diagnostics

In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that resulted from the provided information (e.g. a required parameter was missing), and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error. See a more complete list of error codes here.

Example response from an error

JSON

{
  "handled": true,
  "status": 422,
  "message": "Connection does not exist or is disabled",
  "data": {
    "id": "web_xxxxxxxxxxx"
  }
}

Rate Limits

The Hookdeck API has a rate limit of 240 request per minute, per API key. Contact us if you need your rate limit increased.

Rate limiting response headers

HTTP

Retry-After: Seconds before next request can be made
X-RateLimit-Limit: Request per minute limit for the API key
X-RateLimit-Remaining: Remaining request for the rate limit period
X-RateLimit-Reset: ISO timestamp of the next rate limit period reset

Query Formatting

Arrays

Arrays in query parameters are indicated by a [] appended to their type, like string[].

For example: ?item[1]=hello&item[2]=world is parsed as ["hello", "world"]

Date

Dates are expected in ISO format.

For example: 2021-01-21T20:16:28Z or 2021-01-21

JSON

Some query parameters take JSON as input. The JSON should be stringified and URL encoded.

For example: ?body=%7B%0A%20%20"hello"%3A%20"world"%0A%7D is parsed as { "hello": "world" }

Operators

Most GET endpoints that retrieve a list of resources support operators as part of the request query.

For example: ?number[gte]=1&number[lte]=10

Operator	Supported Types	Description
gte	`date` `number`	Greater than or equal to
gt	`date` `number`	Greater than
lte	`date` `number`	Lesser than or equal to
lt	`date` `number`	Lesser than
any	`date` `number` `string`	Not `null`
contains	`string`	Contains

OpenAPI Schema

Our OpenAPI schema is available at https://api.hookdeck.com/2025-07-01/openapi.

OpenAPI schemas can be used to generate SDKs for your language of choice and work with various tools made for OpenAPI definitions such as importing into Postman.

Changelog

When backwards-incompatible changes are made to the API, a new, dated version is released. The latest version is 2025-07-01.

The API version can be set in the base path of any endpoint, such as https://api.hookdeck.com/2025-07-01/sources. Otherwise the API defaults to the oldest supported version.

The backwards-incompatible changes for each version are listed below. Backwards-compatible changes don’t need a new API version and do not appear in this list.

Dated versions remain officially supported for up to 1 year after the date of release. For instance 2023-07-01 will be officially supported until 2024-07-01.

2025-07-01

Transformation and Filter Order

Transformations and filters are now be ordered via the rules property in a connection. This allows for greater flexibility in how events are processed.

Prior to this change, transformations always ran before filters. Now, you can control the order of execution by placing transformations before or after filters in the rules array.

To preserve existing behavior, ensure that transformation rules are placed before filter rules in the rules array.

The delay and retry rules do not have an order and can be placed anywhere in the rules array.

2025-01-01

Source and Destination Types

Source and Destination Types are now available on the Source and Destination objects. This introduces the following changes:

Added type property to the Source and Destination objects, which can be set when creating or updating them.
Added config property to contain all type-dependent configuration options, including authentication methods, custom responses, and HTTP method restrictions. See the source object for more details on each Type configuration.

Source

The Source type property defaults to WEBHOOK and has no required config property.
The custom_response, allowed_http_methods properties have been moved to the Source to the config object for the supported type.
The verification has been moved to the config object and the verification.type property is now config.auth_type and the verification.config property is just config.auth.

Destination

The Destination type property defaults to HTTP and requires a config.url property.
The Destination properties url, rate_limit, rate_limit_period, disabled_path_forwarding and http_method have been moved to the config object for the supported type.
The Destination cli_path property has been renamed to path and has been moved to the config object when type is CLI.
When type is CLI the rate_limit and rate_limit_period properties are not supported.

2024-09-01

Change to attempts

Attempts no longer store state and are created when the event is delivered rather then when the event is queued for delivery.

Because of the underlying data structure change, the behavior of the API has changed for some endpoint, regardless of versions. While those are not technically breaking changes, they are worth noting:

The /attempts (see: Retrieve all attempts) endpoint now only returns attempts with status of SUCCESFUL or FAILED. This is true regardless of API version.
The /events/:id/retry will always return null for the attempt property on the response. This is true regardless of API version.

The breaking changes for this version specifically are:

The /events/:id/retry (see: Retry an event) endpoint previously returned { event: Event, attempt: Attempt } and now only returns the Event object in root of the response.

2024-03-01 [DEPRECATED]

Renamed archive to disable

On Source, Destination and Connection objects, archive and unarchive have been renamed as disabled and enable. This affects the following:

archived_at has been renamed to disabled_at
/sources/:id/archive have been renamed to /sources/:id/disable (see Disable a source)
/sources/:id/unarchive have been renamed to /sources/:id/enable (see Enable a source)
/connections/:id/archive have been renamed to /connections/:id/disable (see Disable a connection)
/connections/:id/unarchive have been renamed to /connections/:id/enable (see Enable a connection)
/destinations/:id/archive have been renamed to /destinations/:id/disable (see Disable a destination)
/destinations/:id/unarchive have been renamed to /destinations/:id/enable (see Enable a destination)
Ignored event cause ARCHIVED has been renamed as DISABLED
Rejection cause SOURCE_ARCHIVED has been renamed as SOURCE_DISABLED

Standardise source verification configs

To use consistent casing and keys between source authentication and destination authentication, we have made the following changes:

On the Source's verification, rename user as username in the following config types:
- Basic Auth
- Postmark
- Pipedrive
All config types have been uppercased on the Source's verification. For instance, hmac is renamed as HMAC, github is renamed as GITHUB and so on

2023-07-01 [DEPRECATED]

Removing rulesets

Removes support for Rulesets and is replaced by setting rules directly on connections.

Removed rulesets object and resolved_rules array from Connections.
Removed all /rulesets endpoints
Removed ruleset and ruleset_id property when creating or updating a Connection

Replacing integrations by Source "verification"

Add the verification property to the Source model
Add the verification input when creating or updating a Source
Remove the integration and integration_id property from Source
Removed all /integrations

Connections

A connection lets you route events from a source to a destination.

Connections were historically called "webhooks". The endpoint root path /webhooks has been moved to /connections. The former will remain functional, but consider migrating to /connections. Because of this quirk, connections ids start with web_ instead of con_. References to connection ids are shown as webhook_id instead of connection_id.

Unpause a connection

This endpoint unpauses a connection.

Any event with a status of HOLD will be attempted (destination delivery rate will be respected). This operation is asynchronous, so it may take some time for all events to be QUEUED for delivery.
