Webhooks: Properly handle http POST from Twitch

[BarryCarlyon]

What language are you attempting to use?

What am I missing?

When Twitch (well Everyone that does Webhooks) sends your Webhook data, it is a request of type POST but the data is in the BODY of the request.

And you should reply with a 200 OK not a 100.

if you are using PHP

$webhook_data = file_get_contents(‘php://input’);

If you are using NodeJS, use bodyParser.json middleware

@Noxy

Whenever I don’t immediately return a 200 code, however, Twitch retries and this time , on consecutive POST requests from Twitch, the event information is contained in the shape of a buffer (which is fine, would prefer JSON, but I can use that).

This sounds odd and more like your handler is doing something unexpected.
