What is a Webhook?
It is a tool that sends real-time data from one application to another when a specific event occurs. Unlike traditional methods, webhooks push information automatically without the need for repeated requests. This makes them efficient for tasks like sending notifications or updating data.
How Webhook Works
First a webhook URL is registered with the source application.
When a specified event happens (e.g., a payment is made), the source app sends data to the webhook URL.
The receiving app then processes the data.
Webhook vs. API
Webhook is event-driven, it sends updates automatically which makes it ideal for real-time data sharing.
