# 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"
```
