Edit Monitor Webhook URL - API Reference

Limited Access

The Monitoring API is currently in limited release. To request access, please contact our support team at [email protected] or use our live chat support feature.

Used to update or remove a monitor-specific webhook_url. This only updates the webhook URL value associated with a single monitor and does not change your global webhook URL. When monitor-specific webhook is not set, all webhook requests will be routed to your global webhook URL

PATCH https://api.socialdata.tools/monitors/{monitor_id}

Headers

Authorization string required

Authorization Bearer header containing your SocialData API key

Example: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Path Parameters

monitor_id string required

Target monitor ID

Example: 01jeg76qa91b095gttamsbwa6q

Body

webhook_url string required

New webhook URL that will be used for all monitors that don't have an individual webhook_url set. Pass an empty value to remove monitor-specific webhook

Example: https://my-website.com/webhook or NULL
