Webhooks - Not receiving request of verification in Python

Puneet_Bajaj_IITM

I am using this function

logging.basicConfig(filename='automation.log', level=logging.INFO)

smartsheet_client = smartsheet.Smartsheet(SMARTSHEET_API_KEY)

def create_webhook(sheet_id: int, callback_url: str):

    """Create a webhook for the specified sheet and verify it."""

    # Create the webhook

    webhook = smartsheet_client.Webhooks.create_webhook(

        smartsheet.models.Webhook({

            'name': 'name',

            'scope': 'sheet',

            'scopeObjectId': sheet_id,

            'callbackUrl': callback_url,

            'events': ['*.*'],

            'version': 1

        })

    )

    logging.info(f"Webhook created successfully: {webhook}")

    # Enable the webhook to initiate the verification process

    update_webhook(webhook.result.id)

    # Wait for verification to complete

    while True:

        time.sleep(5)  # Wait for 5 seconds before checking again

        updated_webhook = get_webhook(webhook.result.id)

        if updated_webhook.status == 'ENABLED':

            logging.info("Webhook verification completed successfully.")

            break

        elif updated_webhook.status == 'DISABLED_VERIFICATION_FAILED':

            logging.error("Webhook verification failed.")

            break

def update_webhook(webhook_id: int):

    """Update the enabled status of the webhook."""

    smartsheet_client.Webhooks.update_webhook(

        webhook_id,

        smartsheet.models.Webhook({

            'enabled': enabled

        })

    )

def get_webhook(webhook_id: int):

    """Retrieve the details of the specified webhook."""

    return smartsheet_client.Webhooks.get_webhook(webhook_id)

And i have a fastapi endpoint

@app.post("/webhook")

async def handle_webhook(challenge: str, webhookId: int, smartsheet_hook_challenge: str = Header(None)):

    # Verify that the received challenge matches the value in the header

    if challenge != smartsheet_hook_challenge:

        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="Invalid challenge")

    # Construct the response containing the same challenge value

    response_body = {"smartsheetHookResponse": challenge}

But i am not receiving any request for verification . Please help!
