Webhook callbacks unreliable atm?

Troubleshooting
1

Yesterday and today I seem to be having reliability issues with the webhook I set up. I am using the code found in the weather example from the docs page. Only about 1 in 10 or 1 in 15 calls result in data back from the server.

From the log I can see it’s working intermittently. Are other people experiencing this too, or did I get myself rate limited or something? :smile:

are you using the one minute interval in the example?

do you have good wifi and internet connection?

I'd try a shell script to curl the service as frequently as you want data to see if data is consistently returning.

Thanks for the suggestions @BulldogLowell

I am using a one-minute interval. Connection status is good and other publish and subscribe functions are working properly. (I have a heartbeat function that also publishes every minute and watches for a response and it’s working perfectly.)

curl to the service works instantly and reliably.

When I implemented my first webhook I made a mistake in the spark code that called the webhook many times super quickly while the data wasn’t set. I’ve fixed this now but wonder if that got me blacklisted. :cry:

Incidentally I get a timeout error now when I try to create new webhooks.

If you curl is working inside the same LAN as the Spark, I doubt you've been blacklisted.

can you:

spark webhook list

and see all of your webhooks?
