summary: >-
  Domain runs a first-class webhook system: the developer registers an endpoint
  URL on a portal project, proves control of it through a verification
  challenge, then creates one subscription per (resourceType, ownerType, ownerId)
  combination. Notifications are POSTed as a JSON array, signed with HMAC-SHA1,
  and must be acknowledged with 204 No Content before processing.

endpoint_verification:
  docs: https://developer.domain.com.au/docs/latest/apis/pkg_webhooks/guides/configuration/
  mechanism: >-
    Domain issues two GET requests to the registered URL - one carrying the
    correct ?verification= code, to which the endpoint must return 204 No
    Content, and one carrying an invalid code, to which it must return 404 Not
    Found. The endpoint must keep responding correctly at all times.
  common_failures:
  - Non-public URL (localhost / RFC1918 address)
  - DNS not yet propagated (wait at least 24 hours after DNS changes)
  - Invalid or self-signed TLS certificate

delivery:
  docs: https://developer.domain.com.au/docs/latest/apis/pkg_webhooks/guides/processing/
  method: POST
  body: JSON array of notification objects (batched - always an array, even for a single event)
  expected_response: 204 No Content
  response_deadline: respond as quickly as possible, ideally within 2 seconds
  processing_rule: >-
    Consumers MUST NOT process notification detail before acknowledging. Domain
    monitors response time and disables webhooks that consistently respond slowly
    or with errors.
  signature:
    header: X-Domain-Signature
    algorithm: HMAC-SHA1
    key: the webhook's Verification Code
    body: hex-encoded lowercase HMAC of the raw notification body
    on_failure: discard the message and return 404
