the Webhook you is create by you

it is the URL that data is POSTed to on your server

So when you write the code to consume webhook data, you will decide what URL it will be.

That suggests your body type didn’t match the header type.

IE you sent a JSON body, but didn’t say you were sending JSON with a header.

Thats not the correct header.  
Thats also the header used with the kraken API which is long dead.

The normal JSON header is

`Content-Type: application/json`

Sure this might work not but it’s not _standards_

What does your code look like to make the request to create a subscription?

You declared you were posting JSON  
And then posted a form.

The form layout isn’t correct for POSTing as a form.

It’s easier to send as JSON. So

```php
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($object));

```

Should do the trick rather than `http_build_query`

It’s `json_encode(theobject);` not `json_encode('theobject');`

</div>

above solution is giving syntax error , also I have tried

```php
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '{"type":"channel.follow","version":"1","condition":{"broadcaster_user_id":"'.intval($oAuth['data'][0]['id']).'"},"transport":{"method":"webhook","callback":"---","secret":"'.$secret.'"}}'); 

```

this also gives error → The value specified in the method field is not valid

I think this error is regarding with the method in the parameters we are sending

```php
<?php

$client = '';
$token = '';
$user_id= '';
$callback = '';
$secret = '';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.twitch.tv/helix/eventsub/subscriptions');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Client-ID: ' . $client,
    'Authorization: Bearer ' . $token
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$payload = array(
    'type' => 'stream.online',
    'version' => '1',
    'condition' => array(
        'broadcaster_user_id' => $user_id
    ),
    'transport' => array(
        'method' => 'webhook',
        'callback' => $callback,
        'secret' => $secret
    )
);
print_r($payload);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($payload));

curl_exec($ch);

```

Successfully created a subscription request for me

Edit:

Earlier I copy/pasted your “broken header” but didn’t notice you put `Accept` where it should be `Content-Type`

Something isn’t grabbing and processing the POST request correctly.
