spec_type: Webhooks
asyncapi_published: false
asyncapi_note: >-
  Foxglove publishes NO AsyncAPI document. The event surface is real and
  machine-describable — eight event types with typed payload schemas that already
  live in the OpenAPI under components.schemas.webhook_payloads — but there is no
  /asyncapi.yaml, no event catalog page, and no channel bindings. Nothing has been
  fabricated here: the catalog below is transcribed from Foxglove's own webhook
  documentation and its own payload schemas.
transport: https
delivery:
  guarantee: at-least-once
  retries: up to 5 automatic retries with an increasing delay between attempts
  consumer_timeout_seconds: 5
  expected_response: 2xx
  deduplication_keys: [webhookId, webhookEventId]
  replay_guard: >-
    Reject deliveries whose `deliveryAttemptedAt` is older than 1 minute to defeat
    replay of a captured payload.
security:
  signature_header: fg-webhook-signature
  algorithm: HMAC-SHA256
  signed_content: the entire request body bytes
  secret: the webhook token issued with the webhook
  docs: https://docs.foxglove.dev/docs/webhooks/security
envelope:
  content_type: application/json
  schema: '#/components/schemas/webhook_payloads/Common'
  fields:
  - {name: type, type: string, description: The event type}
  - {name: timestamp, type: string, format: date-time, description: When the webhook
      event occurred}
  - {name: attemptedAt, type: string, format: date-time, description: When the
      delivery was attempted}
  - {name: webhookEventId, type: string, description: ID of the associated webhook
      event}

      your endpoint}
  required: [type, timestamp, attemptedAt, webhookId, webhookEventId]
events:

  payload_schema: '#/components/schemas/webhook_payloads/SessionCreated'
  resource: RecordingSession
- name: device.created

other_event_surfaces:
- name: Foxglove WebSocket protocol
  description: >-
    A live streaming protocol (not a webhook surface) used by ros-foxglove-bridge,
    the SDKs and the app to stream messages from a running robot into Foxglove.
  spec: https://github.com/foxglove/ws-protocol
  package: '@foxglove/ws-protocol'
- name: Site bucket notifications
  description: >-
    POST /site-bucket-notifications is an INBOUND notification endpoint — cloud
    object storage notifies Foxglove that a new recording landed in a self-hosted
    Primary Site bucket. It is the one route that does not require an API key,
    authenticating instead with a site inbox notification bearer token.
  rest: POST /site-bucket-notifications
recommendation: >-
  An AsyncAPI 3.0 document is close to free here: the eight event names, the shared
  Common envelope, the HMAC-SHA256 signature binding and the typed payload schemas
  are already published — they are simply spread across the webhooks docs and the
  OpenAPI components rather than assembled into one machine-readable event contract.
