Update a webhook's url and/or events
Updates a webhook's url, its events list, or both — send at least one of the two, or the call returns 400.
Updates a webhook's url, its events list, or both — send at least one of the two, or the call returns 400. A new url is validated exactly as on create (HTTPS, port 443, public host) and must be unique in your organization, so pointing this webhook at a URL already connected to another endpoint returns 409. A new events array replaces the existing subscription (it is not merged), must contain at least one subscribable event, is de-duplicated, and rejects the synthetic webhook.ping. Returns the updated webhook; changing status is done through the pause and resume actions, not this call. Rate limited to 30 updates per hour; requires the webhooks:write scope.
Scope: webhooks:write. Send the API key as a bearer token; Scopes lists what each one reaches.

Create a webhook subscription
Registers an active webhook and returns it together with a one-time signingSecret (prefixed whsec_, flagged secretShownOnce) that appears only in this response — store it immediately.
Delete a webhook subscription
Permanently deletes the webhook and stops all delivery to it, returning 204 No Content with an empty body.
