1. What is a webhook?
A webhook is a "network hook"—a URL designed to receive notifications. When an event occurs, 17TRACK will push information to this configured URL, and the user will passively receive the data.
2. Why use a webhook?
Using a webhook is recommended because:
- It reduces server bandwidth pressure from frequent requests.
- Track changes are unpredictable, making it hard for users to know when updates occur. A webhook offers automatic tracking and sends updates when changes are detected.
3. How to configure a webhook?
- Log in to your API account: Login | 17TRACK
- Click 'Settings' in the top right corner to access the settings page. Configure the URL in the WebHook section on the right.
*Using webhooks for data pushing is optional. If a webhook interface is not yet developed, the [gettrackinfo] interface can be used to actively request tracking information.
