Webhooks Configuration
Instant Game Update Intelligence
Payload Structure
Configure your endpoint to accept POST requests containing structured JSON data whenever a new patch drops across supported titles.
Request Headers
Every webhook dispatch includes X-PatchPulse-Signature for HMAC-SHA256 verification, Content-Type application/json, and X-Event-ID for idempotency tracking. Validate signatures within 15 seconds to prevent replay attacks.
JSON Body Schema
Payloads follow OpenAPI 3.0 standards. Core fields include event_type, game_slug, patch_version, published_at, and notes_url. Nested changelog arrays contain category, title, and description objects for granular parsing.
Event Types
Subscribe to specific lifecycle stages or receive consolidated broadcasts for all monitored titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and Baldur's Gate 3.
patch.detected
Fires immediately when official developer channels publish version bumps. Includes raw changelog markdown and asset hashes. Average latency: 4.2 seconds from source publication.
patch.validated
Dispatched after our NLP pipeline cross-references SteamDB, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live metadata. Guarantees 99.8% accuracy before triggering downstream pipelines.
patch.rollback
Alerts when publishers revert hotfixes or issue emergency patches. Contains previous_version, rollback_reason, and affected client regions across NA, EU, and APAC.
Testing
Validate your endpoint configuration before going live. Use our sandbox environment to simulate dispatches and inspect response codes.
Sandbox Dispatcher
Enter your HTTPS endpoint and select a target game from the dropdown. Click Dispatch Test Payload to receive a mock patch.detected event with randomized but structurally valid data. Verify your server returns 200 OK within 5 seconds.
Retry Logic & Dead Letters
Failed deliveries trigger exponential backoff at 2s, 4s, 8s, and 16s intervals up to 4 attempts. Unreachable endpoints are quarantined after 3 consecutive 5xx responses. Check your dashboard Delivery Log for full request and response traces.
