# Webhook Generator

Describe the webhook you're handling. Get a complete handler with signature verification, retry logic, and proper error handling. Stripe, GitHub, Twilio. all the patterns you need.

**One command. Zero config. Just works.**

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ai-webhook "stripe payment succeeded"
```

## What It Does

- Generates complete webhook handler functions
- Includes signature verification for popular providers
- Adds idempotency checks to prevent duplicate processing
- Implements retry-safe patterns with proper status codes
- Handles common webhooks from Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, and more

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Stripe payment webhook
npx ai-webhook "stripe checkout.session.completed"

# GitHub push events
npx ai-webhook "github push event to trigger deployment"

# Generic webhook with retry
npx ai-webhook "order created webhook with idempotency" 

# Specify provider explicitly
npx ai-webhook "new subscriber notification" --provider convertkit

# TypeScript output
npx ai-webhook "invoice paid" --typescript
```

## Best Practices

- **Always verify signatures** - Never trust raw webhook payloads
- **Return 200 quickly** - Process async. Don't make providers wait
- **Handle duplicates** - Webhooks retry. Your handler should be idempotent
- **Log everything** - Debugging webhook issues without logs is painful

## When to Use This

- Integrating a payment provider like Stripe or Paddle
- Setting up GitHub Actions alternatives with webhooks
- Building notification systems triggered by external services
- Any third-party integration that sends webhooks
