repull.ping

A diagnostic delivery used by the dashboard to verify endpoint reachability.

Payload

Every delivery uses the same outer envelope (event, eventId, apiVersion, timestamp, data). Dedupe on eventId — it stays stable across retries and replays, while the X-Repull-Delivery-Id header changes on every attempt.

{
  "event": "repull.ping",
  "eventId": "3f1c9a2e-8b7d-4c6a-9e0f-1a2b3c4d5e6f",
  "apiVersion": "2026-04",
  "timestamp": "2026-05-01T12:34:56.000Z",
  "data": {
    "message": "Ping from Repull. If you can read this, your endpoint is reachable."
  }
}

Verifying signatures

Every delivery includes a timestamped X-Repull-Signature header of the form t=<unix_ts>,v1=<hex>, where v1 is HMAC-SHA256(signing_secret, `${t}.${raw_body}`). Verify it before processing — see Verify Signatures for full Node.js and Python examples.

Use the raw body

Sign the raw request body exactly as received, not a re-stringified JSON object. Re-serialisation can reorder keys or change whitespace and break the signature.

Tip: Acknowledge with a 2xx status within 10 seconds. Failed deliveries are retried up to 5 times with exponential backoff.Webhook reliability →
