# Webhook Headers

## Overview

Webhooks headers allow you to define custom headers that should be sent with each request to your remote endpoint. These can be useful for authentication or tracking purposes.

See our [API Reference](/api-reference/events/webhook-headers/get-webhook-headers.md) for a full description of each of the below calls.

## Creating Webhook Headers

Webhook headers can be created through the REST API by performing the following request.

```bash
curl -X POST https://sandbox-api.violet.io/v1/events/webhooks/{webhook_id}/headers \
-H "X-Violet-App-Id: your-app-id-here" \
-H "X-Violet-App-Secret: your-app-secret-here" \
-H "X-Violet-Token: your-token-here" \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"key": "X-MyApp-Header", "value": "Some Value"}'
```

## Retrieving a List of Webhook Headers

A list of headers associated with your webhook can be obtained through the REST API by performing the following request.

```bash
curl GET https://sandbox-api.violet.io/v1/events/webhooks/{webhook_id}/headers \
-H "X-Violet-App-Id: your-app-id-here" \
-H "X-Violet-App-Secret: your-app-secret-here" \
-H "X-Violet-Token: your-token-here" \
-H "Content-type: application/json"
```

## Modifying Webhook Headers

Webhook headers can be modified through the REST API by performing the following request.

```bash
curl -X PUT https://sandbox-api.violet.io/v1/events/webhooks/{webhook_id}/headers/{header_id} \
-H "X-Violet-App-Id: your-app-id-here" \
-H "X-Violet-App-Secret: your-app-secret-here" \
-H "X-Violet-Token: your-token-here" \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"key": "X-MyApp-Header", "value": "Some New Value"}'
```

## Removing Webhook Headers

```bash
curl -X DELETE https://sandbox-api.violet.io/v1/events/webhooks/{webhook_id}/headers/{header_id} \
-H "X-Violet-App-Id: your-app-id-here" \
-H "X-Violet-App-Secret: your-app-secret-here" \
-H "X-Violet-Token: your-token-here" \
-H "Content-type: application/json"
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.violet.io/prism/webhooks/managing-webhook-headers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
