Webhooks

Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks. They are triggered by some event in a web application and can facilitate integrating different applications or third-party APIs, like Real&Mate.

Real&Mate uses webhooks to let your application know when events happen, such as getting information about real estate objects or adding new ones. When the event occurs, Real&Mate makes an HTTP request (usually a POST or a GET) to the URL you configured for the webhook. Real&Mate's request will include details of the event such as the user identifier or real estate parameters. Many other modern web services like GitHub and Slack also make use of webhooks to communicate events.

Getting Started with Real&Mate Webhooks

For testing purposes during development, you may find it worthwhile to set up mock HTTP requests to your application. We suggest either using a command-line tool like curl, or a desktop application like Postman.
