How to delete all webhooks in bulk?

Sunil Patel

There is an api end point to delete webbooks one by one.. any end point to delete all in once?

Hi @Sunil Patel

You're correct, deleting webhooks (see here) is not one of the supported bulk operations; you would need to write a script to loop through them all.

Here is a python script to loop through and delete all inactive webhooks. If you want to delete all active webhooks, change the line if j['data'][x]['enabled'] == False: to if j['data'][x]['enabled'] == True:

If you want to delete both inactive and active webhooks, take out that line all together.

Is it well written? Probably not. But it gets the job done.

Note: the 'whArray' will print twice. One will the IDs of all inactive webhooks. The second time should print blank if successful. This will also create a file titled 'SSwebhookdata.json' that contains all the data for the webhooks. Was this necessary? Probably not but it's the only thing I could get to work.

Anywho, enjoy.

import smartsheet
import requests
import json

smartsheet_client = smartsheet.Smartsheet('SMARTSHEET TOKEN HERE')

IndexResult = smartsheet_client.Webhooks.list_webhooks(
    page_size=100,
    page=1,
    include_all=False)

results = str(IndexResult)
response = json.loads(results)

with open('SSwebhookdata.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(response, f)

with open('SSwebhookdata.json', 'r') as string:
    my_dict=json.load(string)
string.close()

j = my_dict
x = -1
indexArray = []
whArray = []

for each in j['data']:
    x += 1
    indexArray.append(x)

for x in indexArray:
    if j['data'][x]['enabled'] == False:
        whArray.append(j['data'][x]['id'])

print(whArray)

def deleteWH():
    smartsheet_client.Webhooks.delete_webhook()

for each in whArray:
    smartsheet_client.Webhooks.delete_webhook(each)

print(whArray)
print(IndexResult)
