# Get a webhook endpoint

Webhooks

GET `/v1/webhook_endpoints/{id}`

One webhook endpoint (never its secret). Free.

**Auth:** an API key with the `account:read` scope, or the dashboard session.

**Test mode:** A test key manages the account's test webhook endpoints, separate from live ones; they receive test events only (a test job's job.\* events and webhook.test), signed and retried like live ones.

## Example

cURL:

```shell
curl 'https://staging.socialtap.dev/v1/webhook_endpoints/<id>' \
  -H "x-api-key: $SOCIALTAP_API_KEY"
```

## Authorizations

`x-api-key`stringheaderrequired

Your API key, with the `account:read` scope. [Authentication](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/authentication/index.md)

## Response

### 200

Get a webhook endpoint

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `data` | `object` |  |
| `data.created_at` | `string` (date-time) |  |
| `data.description` | `string` or `null` |  |
| `data.disabled_reason` | `string` or `null` | Why it is disabled: gone (it answered 410), failing (deliveries failed for 5 days), user. Null while enabled.<br>One of `gone`, `failing`, `user` |
| `data.events` | `string[]` | Event types it receives: types, prefix wildcards (job.\*) or \* for all. |
| `data.id` | `string` | we_… |
| `data.object` | `string` | Always webhook_endpoint.<br>One of `webhook_endpoint` |
| `data.previous_secret_expires_at` | `string` (date-time) or `null` | Until then the previous secret signs too; null when none. |
| `data.secret?` | `string` or `null` | The signing secret (whsec_…): only in the create and rotate_secret answers. Store it. |
| `data.status` | `string` | One of `enabled`, `disabled` |
| `data.updated_at` | `string` (date-time) |  |
| `data.url` | `string` | https URL deliveries are POSTed to. |
| `meta` | `object` | The shared route meta (see the API reference introduction). |

### 400

400 Bad Request.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `invalid_input` | 400 | No | The request parameters are missing or malformed, or the URL is not a supported link for this endpoint. | Fix the parameter named in param (the message says how); for a link of the wrong kind, call the endpoint the message names. |

### 401

401 Unauthorized.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `unauthorized` | 401 | No | The x-api-key header is missing, unknown or revoked (or, on the dashboard's routes, the session cookie is missing or expired). | Send a valid API key in the x-api-key header; without one, get a key at details.signup_url (AI agents: POST details.agent_signup_url). |

### 403

403 Forbidden.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `forbidden` | 403 | No | The API key is valid but may not make this request: its account is suspended, its scopes do not include the route, it is waiting for its owner's email confirmation, it is past its expiry, or the request came from an IP its allowlist does not include. A running job stops the same way when its account is suspended or the key that created it is revoked or expires. It is about the key, never the item (a private item is private_or_unavailable, also 403): branch on the code. | Do what details.reason says: if suspended, contact [support](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/index.md); otherwise use a key whose scopes cover the route (details.required_scope), have the owner confirm the emailed link, create a new key, or call from an allowed IP. |

### 404

404 Not Found.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `not_found` | 404 | No | The item does not exist or was deleted. | Check the URL or ID; do not retry. |

### 429

429 Too Many Requests.

| Code | HTTP | Retry | Meaning | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `rate_limited` | 429 | Yes, later | The account exceeded its runaway-protection ceiling: plans do not limit request rate, but a high per-account safety ceiling stops broken client loops. Support raises it on request. Without an API key (signup, the MCP server's tool listing and find_endpoint), requests are limited per IP address instead. | Wait for the number of seconds in the retry-after header, then retry; ask [support](https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/index.md) to raise the ceiling if your sustained traffic needs more (calls without an API key: use one). |

## Test mode

A test key manages the account's test webhook endpoints, separate from live ones; they receive test events only (a test job's job.\* events and webhook.test), signed and retried like live ones.
