What the Custom Integration includes

Every capability you need to build a reliable, production-grade sync between WatchTraderHub and your own platform.

REST API for inventory and orders

Read listings and write orders via a versioned HTTP API

  • GET /v1/listings (cursor-paginated)
  • GET /v1/listings/:id
  • POST /v1/customers and /v1/customers/bulk
  • POST /v1/orders and GET /v1/orders
  • POST /v1/orders/:id/cancel
  • GET /v1/me (authenticated identity)

Outbound webhooks

10 event types across four namespaces, with wildcard subscription support

  • listing.* (published, updated, unpublished, sold, in_stock)
  • order.* (received, fulfilled, cancelled)
  • customer.matched
  • integration.test_event
  • Wildcard * or namespace.* subscriptions

HMAC-SHA256 signing

Every delivery is signed; rotate secrets without dropping deliveries

  • WTH-Signature header on every request
  • Format: t=timestamp,v1=hmac_hex
  • 5-minute replay-attack window
  • Dual-secret grace period on rotation
  • Previous secret stays valid during cutover

Test mode

Sandbox-isolated keys and events to verify your integration safely

  • Separate test API key, same dashboard
  • Test rows flagged in API responses
  • POST /v1/test/webhook_ping fires a live test event
  • No impact on production inventory data
  • On by default until you flip to live mode

Delivery log

Full audit trail for every webhook delivery attempt

  • HTTP status code per attempt
  • Response body preview
  • Timestamps and retry counts
  • Manual retry from the dashboard
  • Visible in the Delivery Log tab

OpenAPI spec

Machine-readable surface for code generation and documentation

  • OpenAPI 3.1 JSON at /api/v1/openapi.json
  • Postman collection at /openapi/v1.postman.json
  • All webhook events registered as OpenAPI webhooks
  • Import directly into any API client

How to get started

From zero to a verified live integration in four steps.

1

Generate an API key

From your dealer dashboard, open Channels > Custom Integration and generate an API key. The key has the shape wth_ + 32 base62 characters. Only the first 12 characters and a SHA-256 hash are stored; the full key is shown once. Treat it like a password and keep it server-side only.

2

Configure your webhook URL and signing secret

In the Settings tab, enter the HTTPS URL where WatchTraderHub should POST events. Generate a signing secret. Select which event types to receive, or use * for all events.

3

Verify in test mode

While test mode is active, call POST /api/v1/test/webhook_ping to fire an integration.test_event to your receiver. Check the Delivery Log to confirm delivery and verify that your HMAC signature validation passes.

4

Flip to live mode

Once your end-to-end tests pass, disable test mode. Real inventory events will begin flowing to your webhook endpoint. The Delivery Log remains available for ongoing monitoring.

Authenticated request

GET /api/v1/listingsbash
curl -X GET https://www.watchtraderhub.com/api/v1/listings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wth_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Signed webhook delivery

POST to your webhook endpointhttp
POST https://your-server.example.com/webhooks/wth HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
WTH-Signature: t=1716120000,v1=3b4c5d...

{
  "event": "listing.published",
  "data": {
    "id": "inv_abc123",
    "brand": "Rolex",
    "model": "Submariner",
    "asking_price_eur": 14500
  }
}

Verify the WTH-Signature header by computing HMAC-SHA256(secret, "{timestamp}.{rawBody}") and comparing with the v1= value. Full recipes in the webhook docs.
