I have been dealing with cryptography craziness since yesterday, I 've literally lost my sleep over this. I am implementing a node red solution to get webhooks from Xero to be written in a custom app. I have experienced a lot of issues with the payload and how it needs to be stringified and how nee…

Have you looked at the Xero Developer Docs - they have Node.JS libraries available ? They also provide a number of example apps to show both basic and advanced functionality in their Github repository. Lastly if you look at n8n and make.com - they both have a number of integrations/recipes that yo…

I don't know what is Xero, never set up a webhook for that service... that said, reading their doc it says they're expecting these 5 things from your node-red: It uses HTTPS on the standard 443 port It responds within 5 seconds with a 200 O.K status code There is no body in the response There are n…

Hello @lu4t Thank you for participating in this post. I have now confirmed that the issue is related to the body. Just forget the Xero part, the problem is very simple: Body needs to be hashed. The body in the http request is like that {"events":[],"firstEventSequence": 0,"lastEventSequence": 0…

All they're requesting could be done with node-red. I have several webhook receivers working that are very similar to the one you're trying to make. What I don't understand is: why you say the problem is in the body, when they clearly say the body has to be empty? As I said, I am happy to help but…

The response body should be empty. Not the input. The input is as explained above and it needs to be verified using a hash and comparing to a header value. I know it is the body, because I have made it partially work using that GitHub fellow's walkaround. What I need is either get the raw body of …

[image] stathisaska: Is there anyway I can get the raw string body of the HTTP request, instead of a JSON object ? Do you mean from an HTTP Request node? If so then the node has an option to return a string.

Hi @Colin Thank you for your contribution. This flow is a backend service consuming web hooks. I am using 'http in' unfortunately, which does not support to get the body into msg.payload as UTF-8 string

Hi @craigcurtin I am heavily using all API services, including make, Zapier, Claris Connect and recently n8n. For this specific implementation, Node Red is the best fit.

Yes i was more pointing out the fact that the two specific services i mentioned gave http methods that could be adapted to use in NR that could assist you with your issue Craig

After a lot of research, I found out that it might be possible to get the RAW body, but I could not make it work
