# webhooks

This skill should be used to design, build, secure, or debug an Xweather Webhooks receiver — the push alternative to polling the Weather API. Use it whenever a task mentions Xweather webhooks, pushed weather data, a weather webhook receiver or endpoint, subscribing to pushed hail/lightning/alerts/storm-cell data, or asks how to stop polling the Xweather API and receive data in real time instead. Also use it when writing the endpoint handler, choosing a data set to subscribe to, or preparing the registration details Xweather needs. Also covers Xweather's attribution requirement — the 'Powered by Vaisala Xweather' credit and logo rules that apply wherever Xweather data or imagery is displayed.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/vaisala-xweather/xweather-agent-skills /tmp/xweather-agent-skills && ln -s /tmp/xweather-agent-skills/plugins/xweather/skills/webhooks ~/.claude/skills/webhooks
```

## From README

Xweather Webhooks Xweather pushes data sets to an HTTPS endpoint you own, instead of your application polling data.api.xweather.com on a timer. The payload is byte-for-byte the same shape the Weather API returns, so existing response-parsing code is reusable with almost no change. Webhooks are a premium add-on requiring a separate subscription, and endpoints are registered by Xweather staff — not self-service. There is no API call or dashboard toggle that turns this on. Say so early: the work splits into what the user can build today (the receiver) and what needs a conversation with their account executive (the subscription and registration). When webhooks are the right answer Reach for them when the user is polling frequently for data that changes unpredictably — lightning strikes, hail threats, new alerts, storm cell updates. Polling that on a short interval burns accesses continuously and still adds latency; push removes both problems.
