Webhooks are automated, real-time HTTP callbacks or push notifications sent from one application to another upon the occurrence of a specific event. In crypto systems, they enable immediate data synchronization or trigger actions between trading platforms, wallets, or analytics services.
Mechanism
A webhook operates by an originating application registering a URL endpoint with a target application. When a predefined event occurs in the source, such as a completed trade or a new block validation, an HTTP POST request containing event data is automatically sent to the registered URL, allowing the target system to react promptly.
Methodology
Integrating Webhooks into systems architecture enhances responsiveness and reduces polling overhead, crucial for dynamic crypto environments. The methodology involves designing robust endpoint handlers capable of processing incoming data securely and reliably, implementing retry mechanisms for delivery failures, and carefully managing data payloads to ensure efficient and timely event-driven communication.
