Please add support for webhooks in your API

[reece kenney50_647420725036060]

There have been a few posts where people have expressed interest in webhook support. I haven't seen any updates to the API quite some time now. Are there any plans for API updates, particularly for webhook support?

Thanks!

+1 for webhook support.

The new doorbell has a webhook function but I haven't found any documentation yet. Not sure what other models may have received updates.

@clintjohnson_615769083773304 The Doorbell reolink seems to have webhook support now.


Since I'm a developer myself. I just run a server and test the webhook.

The test responds will trigger a POST request with a JSON body, looks like this:

{
  "alarm": {
    "alarmTime": "2024-10-26T18:06:45.000+0000",
    "channel": 0,
    "channelName": "Doorbell PoE Camera",
    "device": "Doorbell PoE Camera",
    "deviceModel": "Reolink Video Doorbell PoE",
    "message": "If you receive this message it means you have successfully set up your device: Doorbell PoE Camera",
    "name": "A webhook test message from Doorbell PoE Camera",
    "title": "Test message",
    "type": "TEST"
  }
}

Then again, since I don't have any documentation, I don't know what other types there might exists!? But I found pressing the button gave me another trigger type.

The type "VISITOR":

{
 "alarm": {
   "alarmTime": "2024-10-26T18:24:30.000+0000",
   "channel": 0,
   "channelName": "Doorbell PoE Camera",
   "device": "Doorbell PoE Camera",
   "deviceModel": "Reolink Video Doorbell PoE",
   "message": "Visitor Detected from Doorbell PoE Camera",
   "name": "Visitor Alert",
   "title": "Visitor message",
   "type": "VISITOR"
 }
}

Have fun people! I'm running my own Go server, called "RingerLink":
