verified using Ed25519 asymmetric signatures with X-Signature-Ed25519 (hex) and
X-Signature-Timestamp headers. Signed content is the concatenation of
X-Signature-Timestamp + raw request body. Use tweetnacl/discord-interactions

# Discord Webhooks

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up Discord webhook event handlers (outgoing webhooks)
- Verifying Discord Ed25519 signatures with `X-Signature-Ed25519` and `X-Signature-Timestamp`
- Handling the PING (type 0) endpoint validation request
- Handling events like `APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED`, `APPLICATION_DEAUTHORIZED`, `ENTITLEMENT_CREATE`, `LOBBY_MESSAGE_CREATE`, `GAME_DIRECT_MESSAGE_CREATE`, `QUEST_USER_ENROLLMENT`
- Debugging "invalid request signature" errors when registering your webhook endpoint

> Note: This skill covers **outgoing webhooks** (Discord → your server) — the same Ed25519 signing scheme is shared with Interactions endpoints. Incoming webhooks (your server → Discord channel via webhook URL) are not signed and not covered here.

## Essential Code (USE THIS)

Discord uses **Ed25519 asymmetric signatures** (not HMAC). The signed content is the raw concatenation `X-Signature-Timestamp + raw_body`. Verification uses your application's **public key** (hex-encoded), available in the Discord Developer Portal.

### Express Webhook Handler (Node.js)

Use the official-style [`discord-interactions`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-interactions) helper (built on `tweetnacl`).

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const { verifyKey } = require('discord-interactions');

const app = express();

// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() - verification needs raw body bytes
// Note: discord-interactions v4 returns a Promise from verifyKey — await it.
app.post('/webhooks/discord',
express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
async (req, res) => {
const signature = req.headers['x-signature-ed25519'];
const timestamp = req.headers['x-signature-timestamp'];
const publicKey = process.env.DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY;

if (!signature || !timestamp) {
return res.status(401).send('Missing signature headers');
}

const isValid = await verifyKey(req.body, signature, timestamp, publicKey);
if (!isValid) {
return res.status(401).send('Invalid request signature');
}

const payload = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());

// type: 0 = PING (endpoint validation). Reply 204 empty body.
if (payload.type === 0) {
return res.status(204).send();
}

// type: 1 = event payload
if (payload.type === 1) {
const event = payload.event;
switch (event.type) {
case 'APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED':
console.log('App authorized for user:', event.data.user?.id);
break;
case 'APPLICATION_DEAUTHORIZED':
console.log('App deauthorized for user:', event.data.user?.id);
break;
case 'ENTITLEMENT_CREATE':
console.log('Entitlement created:', event.data.id);
break;
case 'LOBBY_MESSAGE_CREATE':
console.log('Lobby message:', event.data.content);
break;
case 'GAME_DIRECT_MESSAGE_CREATE':
console.log('Game DM:', event.data.content);
break;
default:
console.log('Unhandled event type:', event.type);
}
}

res.status(204).send();
}
);
```

### Python (FastAPI) Webhook Handler

Use [`PyNaCl`](https://pypi.org/project/PyNaCl/) for Ed25519 verification.

```python
import os
import json
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, Response, HTTPException
from nacl.signing import VerifyKey
from nacl.exceptions import BadSignatureError

app = FastAPI()

PUBLIC_KEY = os.environ["DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY"]

def verify_discord_signature(body: bytes, signature: str, timestamp: str, public_key: str) -> bool:
try:
verify_key = VerifyKey(bytes.fromhex(public_key))
verify_key.verify(timestamp.encode() + body, bytes.fromhex(signature))
return True
except (BadSignatureError, ValueError):
return False

@app.post("/webhooks/discord")
async def discord_webhook(request: Request):
signature = request.headers.get("x-signature-ed25519")
timestamp = request.headers.get("x-signature-timestamp")
if not signature or not timestamp:
raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Missing signature headers")

body = await request.body()
if not verify_discord_signature(body, signature, timestamp, PUBLIC_KEY):
raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="Invalid request signature")

payload = json.loads(body)

# type 0 = PING endpoint validation
if payload.get("type") == 0:
return Response(status_code=204)

# type 1 = event
if payload.get("type") == 1:
event = payload.get("event", {})
event_type = event.get("type")
# Handle event_type: APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED, ENTITLEMENT_CREATE, etc.
print(f"Received Discord event: {event_type}")

return Response(status_code=204)
```

## Common Event Types

| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED` | User installed/authorized your app |
| `APPLICATION_DEAUTHORIZED` | User removed your app |
| `ENTITLEMENT_CREATE` | New entitlement (premium subscription/purchase) |

| `ENTITLEMENT_DELETE` | Entitlement removed (cancelled/expired) |
| `QUEST_USER_ENROLLMENT` | User enrolled in a Quest |
| `LOBBY_MESSAGE_CREATE` | Message sent in a lobby |
| `LOBBY_MESSAGE_UPDATE` | Lobby message edited |
| `LOBBY_MESSAGE_DELETE` | Lobby message deleted |
| `GAME_DIRECT_MESSAGE_CREATE` | DM sent via game SDK |
| `GAME_DIRECT_MESSAGE_UPDATE` | Game DM edited |
| `GAME_DIRECT_MESSAGE_DELETE` | Game DM deleted |

> **For full event reference**, see [Discord Webhook Events](https://docs.discord.com/developers/events/webhook-events).

## Top-Level Payload Structure

```json
{
"version": 1,
"application_id": "123456789012345678",
"type": 1,
"event": {
"type": "APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED",
"timestamp": "2024-10-18T14:42:32.000Z",
"data": { /* event-specific fields */ }
}
}
```

| Field | Values |
|-------|--------|
| `type` | `0` = PING (endpoint validation), `1` = event |
| `event.type` | Event name (uppercase, see table above) |

## Important Headers

| Header | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `X-Signature-Ed25519` | Ed25519 signature, hex-encoded |
| `X-Signature-Timestamp` | UNIX timestamp signed alongside the body |

## Environment Variables

```bash
# Application Public Key (hex) from Discord Developer Portal → General Information
DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY=abc123def456...
```

## PING Validation

When you register your webhook URL in the Discord Developer Portal, Discord sends a `type: 0` PING request. Your endpoint **must** verify the signature and respond with a 2XX status (the docs recommend `204` with empty body). Endpoint registration fails until your handler does this correctly.

## Local Development

```bash
# Start tunnel (no account needed)
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 discord --path /webhooks/discord
```

Use the tunnel URL in Discord Developer Portal → your app → Webhooks → Endpoint URL.

# Discord Webhooks - Express Example

Minimal Express example for receiving Discord webhook events with Ed25519 signature verification, using the [`discord-interactions`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-interactions) helper.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+
- Discord application with a Public Key (from [Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) → General Information)

## Setup

1. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```

2. Copy environment variables:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

3. Add your Discord application **Public Key** (hex) to `.env`:
```bash
DISCORD_PUBLIC_KEY=abc123...
```

## Run

```bash
npm start
```

Server runs on http://localhost:3000.

## Test

```bash
npm test
```

The test suite generates a real Ed25519 keypair and exercises:

- PING (`type: 0`) → 204
- Valid event signatures → 204
- Missing signature headers → 401
- Invalid signature → 401
- Body tampering after signing → 401
- All common event types (`APPLICATION_AUTHORIZED`, `ENTITLEMENT_CREATE`, `LOBBY_MESSAGE_CREATE`, etc.)

## Webhook Endpoint

```
POST http://localhost:3000/webhooks/discord
```

## Local Testing with Hookdeck

```bash
# Create a tunnel
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 discord --path /webhooks/discord
```

Paste the public URL into Discord Developer Portal → your app → Webhooks → Endpoint URL.

## Manual Testing from Discord

1. Go to [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) → your app → Webhooks.
2. Set the Endpoint URL (this triggers a signed PING).
3. Subscribe to events under **Event Subscriptions**.
4. Use the **Send Test** button or trigger a real event (e.g. authorize the app).
