Hi I’m wondering if there is any plan to allow setting the webhooks via an API such as an authenticated post request?

This would mean a developer could integrate with the user having no technical knowledge…

I also would like an answer to this question. I have a need to be able to setup webhooks without user intervention.

One thing I’ve been doing to replicate any functionality of the Plex Web client is to watch network requests being sent when I use a feature. Sure enough, for displaying and creating webhooks you can see a request goes out to [https://plex.tv/api/v2/user/webhooks](https://plex.tv/api/v2/user/webhooks)

For saving webhooks, this is a POST request

Query string parameters:  
X-Plex-Product:Plex Web  
X-Plex-Version:3.6.0  
X-Plex-Client-Identifier:  
X-Plex-Platform:Chrome  
X-Plex-Platform-Version:58.0  
X-Plex-Device:OSX  
X-Plex-Device-Name:Plex Web (Chrome)  
X-Plex-Device-Screen-Resolution:1238x716,2560x1440  
X-Plex-Token:

Headers:  
Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8

Form data:  
urls[]:[http://my-sample-webhook-url.com](http://my-sample-webhook-url.com)  
urls[]:[http://my-other-sample-webhook-url.com](http://my-other-sample-webhook-url.com)

Looks like you will need authentication for this (hence the x-plex-token).
