# Register a webhook endpoint

> Requires `webhooks:manage`. The endpoint is born in an environment and never leaves it: a test endpoint hears test traffic, a live one hears live traffic. Facts about the organization itself (`organization.created`, `member.invited`) carry no environment and go to the **live** endpoints — an organization has one real existence, and the test environment is where the customer plane is rehearsed, not where the organization is.

The signing secret comes back here because this is the moment you need it, but unlike an API key it is re-showable: losing this response is not losing the secret.

info:
  title: UserKit API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The HTTP surface of UserKit.


    Two planes share one API. The **staff plane** is what a human uses in the
    panel: users, organizations, roles, members, keys. The **customer plane** is
    what a developer's own product uses: contacts, identities, hosted or
    federated sign-in.


    Every error answers the same envelope — `{"error": {"code", "message"}}`.
    The `code` is a stable contract to branch on; the `message` is for a person
    and may change.

    description: >-
      The active session: who the caller is, which organization they are in, and
      signing out.
  - name: Account
    description: The caller's own account — profile, password, sessions, avatar.

  - name: Contacts (staff session)
    description: >-
      The staff view of the customer plane, opened by a staff session. Reads
      take `?environment=` as an explicit view parameter.
  - name: Contacts (API key)
    description: >-
      The machine surface, authenticated by an API key. The environment is the
      key's environment and cannot be named by the caller.
  - name: Customer plane
    description: >-
      Called from the developer's own pages with a publishable key: boot, magic
      link, and the contact's own session.
  - name: Hosted auth
    description: >-
      Sign-up, sign-in, verification and recovery for contacts, when UserKit
      owns the account.
  - name: Customer teams
    description: >-
      A customer is a team. Its roster, its invitations and its two roles —
      owner and member — administered by the contact's own session. The active
      customer travels in `X-Customer-Id`.
  - name: Webhooks
    description: >-
      Outbound webhooks: endpoints, the published event catalogue, the delivery
      log, replay and test sends. Never gated by a plan — webhooks are a
      developer primitive.
  - name: Catalogue
    description: >-
      The plans, prices and features **you** sell to your own customers. Per
      environment, a price per currency, and `recurring` or `one_time`. Distinct
      from the plan you are on with UserKit, which is `GET
      /v1/organization/entitlements`.
  - name: Subscriptions
    description: >-
      What one of **your** customers is paying you, mirrored from the gateway
      that charges them. The gateway is the truth about money — it holds the
      schedule, runs the retries and decides what a proration is worth — so
      these routes ask it to change something and answer with what it then said.
      `provider_synced_at` is how stale the copy admits to being.
  - name: Provider webhooks
    description: >-
      Where a payment provider delivers to. Not a surface you call — it is a URL
      you paste into the provider's dashboard, which is why it sits outside
      `/v1`: a version bump must never mean editing a setting in somebody else's
      product. Signed with the secret of the connection named in the path, and
      safe to retry.
  - name: Entitlements
    description: >-
      What one of **your** customers may do, resolved: the plan their
      subscription carries, plus the overrides you promised them on top. This is
      the read your own gate calls, so it is cached and answers in one round
      trip. It is a different question from `GET /v1/organization/entitlements`,
      which is the plan **you** are on with UserKit — two catalogues, same word,
      different money.
