Pulling out from webhook patron data (email , name, pledge amount, etc)

[ITEvo]

Is there an easy way to pull out data from a webhook?

Maybe it's me, but I've not found any kind of documentation, example, anything.
Not here, not on patreon's api...

I need to create a """"simple"""" script which will do

retrieved data > to variables

if pledge:create do stuff
if pledge:delete do stuff
if pledge:update do stuff

Is that so hard to achieve?

Actually there's is a document here: https://docs.patreon.com/#webhooks

You can take from here the idea on how to validate the signature:
https://github.com/Patreon/patreon-wordpress/blob/e5c0656b5e0631abbfa93b18ca110c7abd1aafab/classes/patreon_routing.php#L651-L665

And then you can just use this to fetch the json data:

json_decode($raw_post_data, true);

$raw_post_data is the content of the post request as string.

I'm posting this now cuz I was having the same issue, but found this solution. Haven't tried it yet, but let me know if it helps :)

Oh, and to check by event you can get the header X-Patreon-Event and check with that, like:

$type = $headers['X-Patreon-Event'];

if($type === 'pledge:create'){
  // TODO
}
