Webhooks

The SnapTrade API can be configured to send you webhook notifications when certain events happen.

To get started with webhooks, contact your Customer Success Manager. They will need the URL of your webhook handler for webhook notifications to begin to be sent.

Verifying Webhook Authenticity

You can verify the authenticity of any SnapTrade webhook by verifying the webhookSecret field contained in the body of any webhook.

Contact your customer success manager to get the correct value of this secret.

Aside from webhook secrets:

  • SnapTrade supports custom webhook request headers (which are useful if your webhook handler is protected by Cloudflare)
  • SnapTrade does not support IP whitelisting at this time

Handling Undeliverable Webhooks

When your webhook handler responds to our requests with a status code that is not 200 or 201, we mark that webhook as undelivered in our system.

We will attempt to resend an undeliverable webhook notification with an exponential backoff (starting at 30 minutes) until it is either delivered successfully, or 10 retry attempts have been made.

TRADES_PLACED

Gets sent when new trades are detected in a user's account.

On average, you'll receive a webhook within 30 minutes of activity occurring in the account (we poll once per hour).

We send 1 webhook regardless of how many new trades are identified in your account. So if we identify 1 trade in the account, we'll send 1 webhook; and if we identify 10 trades in the account, we also only send 1 webhook.

Please contact us in order to receive these webhooks as they are disabled by default.
