string
required
The webhook UUID.
Behavior
Generates a new cryptographically random 32-byte hex signing secret, encrypts it at rest (AES-256-GCM), and immediately invalidates the previous secret. All subsequent deliveries will be signed with the new secret. Update your verification code immediately after rotation — any in-flight deliveries signed with the old secret will fail verification on your end.Example
curl -X POST https://www.hitheo.ai/api/v1/webhooks/WEBHOOK_ID/rotate-secret \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $THEO_API_KEY"
Response
{
"id": "a1b2c3d4-...",
"signing_secret": "new_secret_hex_here...",
"_note": "Save the new signing_secret — it will not be shown again. The old secret is now invalid."
}
The new secret is shown once. If you lose it, you’ll need to rotate again.
