notes: >
Web-scraping API platform with three products that share a single async-job +
webhook system: Scrape API, Extraction API, Screenshot API. One webhook URL
registered in the dashboard (https://scrapfly.io/dashboard/webhook) receives
deliveries from all three products. PAID PLAN REQUIRED (first paid tier).

No API exists for creating/updating/deleting webhooks programmatically. The
destination URL CANNOT be passed per-call. Instead, each API call references
an already-registered webhook by name via the `webhook_name` query parameter
(e.g. `…/scrape?…&webhook_name=samples-capture`).

Signature verification: HMAC-SHA256 over the RAW request body bytes (do not
JSON.parse and re-stringify — that changes the byte sequence). Compare against
either `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature` (uppercase hex) or
`X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature-Lowercase` (lowercase hex) using constant-time
equality. The secret is per-webhook, displayed in the dashboard alongside the
webhook configuration (NOT the account API key).

Dispatch by `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` header (one of `scrape`,
`extraction`, `screenshot`). Other headers: `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Job-Id` (UUID,
use as idempotency key for at-least-once delivery), `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Env`
(`test`|`live`), `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Project`, `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Name`,
`X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Id`, optional `X-Scrapfly-Log-Uuid`/`X-Scrapfly-Log-Url`.

No timestamp/replay envelope (unlike Stripe). Recommend idempotency by job-id;
do NOT invent a `t=…` window.

Payload = the full response body of the corresponding API plus a `context`
overlay: `context.webhook` (`{ name, secret, consecutive_failed_count, … }` —
WARN handlers: `secret` field exposes the signing secret in the payload, do
not log or echo) and `context.job` (`{ uuid, … }`). Product-specific shapes
documented in the getting-started pages above.

Delivery: retry 30s → 1min → 5min → 30min → 1h → 1d. A webhook is DISABLED
after 100 consecutive failures — handlers should return 2xx fast and surface
errors out-of-band.

No official SDK construct for verification (plain HMAC is correct). Do NOT
pull in a third-party HMAC library; use the stdlib (`crypto.createHmac` in
Node, `hmac` / `hashlib` in Python).

# Scrapfly Webhooks

## When to Use This Skill

- How do I receive Scrapfly webhooks?
- How do I verify Scrapfly webhook signatures?
- How do I handle async Scrape API, Extraction API, or Screenshot API results?
- How do I route Scrapfly webhooks by resource type (scrape, extraction, screenshot)?
- How do I handle Crawler API webhook events (`crawler_started`, `crawler_finished`, ...)?
- Why is my Scrapfly webhook signature verification failing?

## How Scrapfly Webhooks Work

Scrapfly uses HMAC-SHA256 with **uppercase hex** encoding over the **raw request body**. There is no SDK for webhook verification — implementations follow Scrapfly's documented algorithm.

Key facts:

- **Signature header**: `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature` (uppercase hex). A duplicate `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature-Lowercase` is also sent for runtimes that normalise headers.
- **Algorithm**: `HMAC-SHA256(secret, raw_body).hexdigest().upper()`
- **What is signed**: The **raw request body bytes**. Do **not** parse and re-serialise JSON — that changes the byte sequence and breaks the signature.
- **No timestamp / replay window**: Scrapfly does not include a timestamp header; treat the signature as authenticity-only.
- **Secret**: Use the value from the Scrapfly dashboard exactly as shown. Do not trim or base64-decode it.
- **Routing**: Use `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` (`scrape`, `extraction`, `screenshot`) to dispatch when one endpoint serves multiple products. Crawler events also carry `X-Scrapfly-Crawl-Event-Name` and an `event` field in the body.

## Essential Code (USE THIS)

### Scrapfly Signature Verification (JavaScript)

```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyScrapflySignature(rawBody, signatureHeader, secret) {
if (!signatureHeader || !secret) return false;

// Scrapfly emits uppercase hex
const expected = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(rawBody)
.digest('hex')
.toUpperCase();

// Accept either casing — Scrapfly also sends an X-...-Lowercase variant
const received = signatureHeader.toUpperCase();

try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(received, 'hex'),
Buffer.from(expected, 'hex')
);
} catch {
return false;
}
}
```

### Express Webhook Handler

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() — Scrapfly signs the raw body bytes
app.post('/webhooks/scrapfly',
express.raw({ type: '*/*' }),
(req, res) => {
const signature = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-signature'];
const resourceType = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-resource-type'];
const jobId = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-job-id'];
const webhookId = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-id'];

if (!verifyScrapflySignature(req.body, signature, process.env.SCRAPFLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET)) {
console.error('Scrapfly signature verification failed');
return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
}

// Parse only after verifying
const payload = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());

console.log(`Scrapfly ${resourceType} webhook (job ${jobId}, id ${webhookId})`);

// Route by resource type for scrape / extraction / screenshot APIs
switch (resourceType) {
case 'scrape':
// Scrape API places the fetched URL at result.url; the webhook overlay's
// context only carries `webhook` and `job` sub-objects.
console.log('Scrape result:', payload.result?.status_code, payload.result?.url);
break;
case 'extraction':
console.log('Extraction result:', payload.result?.data);
break;
case 'screenshot':
console.log('Screenshot result:', payload.result?.screenshot_url);
break;
default:
// Crawler API uses event names in the body
if (payload.event) {
console.log(`Crawler event: ${payload.event}`, payload.payload);
} else {
console.log('Unhandled resource type:', resourceType);
}
}

res.status(200).send('OK');
}
);
```

### Python Signature Verification (FastAPI)

```python
import hmac
import hashlib

def verify_scrapfly_signature(raw_body: bytes, signature_header: str, secret: str) -> bool:
if not signature_header or not secret:
return False

expected = hmac.new(
secret.encode('utf-8'),
raw_body,
hashlib.sha256,
).hexdigest().upper()

# Compare case-insensitively (Scrapfly also sends a lowercase header)
return hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature_header.upper())
```

> - [examples/nextjs/](examples/nextjs/) - Next.js App Router implementation
> - [examples/fastapi/](examples/fastapi/) - Python FastAPI implementation

## Common Resource Types and Crawler Events

The `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` header identifies the originating API:

| Resource Type | Description |
|---------------|-------------|
| `scrape` | Async Scrape API result delivery |
| `extraction` | Async Extraction API result delivery |
| `screenshot` | Async Screenshot API result delivery |

Crawler API webhooks carry an `event` string in the body (also exposed as `X-Scrapfly-Crawl-Event-Name`):

| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `crawler_started` | Crawl job began |
| `crawler_url_visited` | A URL was successfully fetched |
| `crawler_url_discovered` | A new URL was queued |
| `crawler_url_skipped` | A URL was skipped (filters, dedupe, ...) |
| `crawler_url_failed` | A URL fetch failed |
| `crawler_stopped` | Crawl stopped (limit reached) |
| `crawler_cancelled` | Crawl cancelled by user |
| `crawler_finished` | Crawl finished naturally |

> **For more context**, see [Scrapfly Scrape API Webhooks](https://scrapfly.io/docs/scrape-api/webhook), [Extraction API Webhooks](https://scrapfly.io/docs/extraction-api/webhook), [Screenshot API Webhooks](https://scrapfly.io/docs/screenshot-api/webhook), and [Crawler API](https://scrapfly.io/docs/crawler-api/getting-started).

## Important Headers

| Header | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature` | HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body, uppercase hex |
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature-Lowercase` | Same signature, lowercase hex |
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Id` | Unique webhook delivery identifier |
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Name` | Name of the configured webhook |
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` | `scrape`, `extraction`, or `screenshot` |
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Job-Id` | Unique job identifier (use for reconciliation) |
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Env` | Environment (`test` or `live`) |
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Project` | Project name |
| `X-Scrapfly-Crawl-Event-Name` | Crawler API event name (e.g. `crawler_finished`) |

## Environment Variables

```bash
SCRAPFLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_signing_secret_here # From the Scrapfly dashboard
```

## Local Development

For local webhook testing, use the Hookdeck CLI tunnel (no account required, no install step needed):

```bash
# Express / Next.js (port 3000)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 scrapfly --path /webhooks/scrapfly

# FastAPI (port 8000)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 8000 scrapfly --path /webhooks/scrapfly
```

Configure the tunnel URL as the destination in your Scrapfly dashboard webhook, then trigger an async job with `webhook_name=<name>` to invoke delivery.

# Scrapfly Webhooks - Express Example

Minimal example of receiving Scrapfly webhooks with signature verification.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+
- A Scrapfly account with a webhook configured (see [setup.md](../../references/setup.md))

## Setup

1. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```

2. Copy environment variables:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

3. Add your Scrapfly webhook signing secret to `.env`:
```bash
SCRAPFLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=<value-from-scrapfly-dashboard>
```

## Run

```bash
npm start
```

Server runs on http://localhost:3000.

## Test

```bash
npm test
```

The test suite generates valid HMAC-SHA256 signatures with the same algorithm Scrapfly uses (uppercase hex over the raw body) and asserts the endpoint accepts/rejects accordingly.

## Receive Webhooks Locally

Use the Hookdeck CLI tunnel (no install step required):

```bash
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 scrapfly --path /webhooks/scrapfly
```

Paste the printed public URL into your Scrapfly dashboard webhook configuration, then trigger an async Scrapfly job with `webhook_name=<your-webhook-name>&async=true`.

## Endpoint

- `POST /webhooks/scrapfly` — Receives and verifies Scrapfly webhook deliveries
- `GET /health` — Health check

## How It Works

1. The webhook body arrives as raw bytes (`express.raw({ type: '*/*' })`).
2. `verifyScrapflySignature` computes `upper(hex(HMAC_SHA256(secret, rawBody)))` and timing-safe-compares it to the `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature` header.
3. If valid, the body is `JSON.parse`d and dispatched by `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` (`scrape` / `extraction` / `screenshot`) or, for the Crawler API, by the `event` field in the body.
