notes: >
Usage-based billing platform (Orb / withorb.com). Uses HMAC-SHA256 in hex with
a `v1=` prefix in the `X-Orb-Signature` header (e.g. `X-Orb-Signature: v1=<hex>`).
Timestamp delivered separately in `X-Orb-Timestamp` (ISO 8601). Signed content
format is the literal string `v1:{X-Orb-Timestamp}:{raw-body}` — concatenate
version literal "v1", colon, ISO timestamp, colon, raw body bytes; HMAC-SHA256
with the per-endpoint signing secret (configured in Orb dashboard, one secret
per webhook endpoint, NOT the account API key). Always pass the raw request
body — don't JSON.parse and re-stringify before verifying.

No documented replay tolerance — Orb recommends comparing X-Orb-Timestamp to a
threshold the integrator picks. Recommend a 5-minute window in handlers plus
idempotency keyed on the event `id` field for at-least-once delivery safety.

Common events span customer lifecycle (`customer.created`,
`customer.credit_balance_dropped`, `customer.accounting_sync_succeeded`),
subscriptions (`subscription.created`, `subscription.started`,
`subscription.ended`, `subscription.plan_changed`, `subscription.edited`,
`subscription.usage_exceeded`), invoices (`invoice.issued`,
`invoice.payment_succeeded`, `invoice.payment_failed`, `invoice.edited`),
and data exports (`data_exports.transfer_success`).

"Summary webhooks" are an opt-in variant covering the same event types with
smaller payloads (line_items omitted from invoices; customer/plan minified
to identification fields only). Same signature scheme; consumers should fetch
full resources via API when detail is needed.

Official SDKs: orb-billing (npm + PyPI; same package name on both registries).
Neither SDK exposes a Stripe-style unwrap()/constructEvent() helper at the
time of writing — manual HMAC verification is the canonical path.

# Orb Webhooks

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up Orb webhook handlers
- Debugging Orb signature verification failures
- Understanding Orb event types and payloads
- Handling usage-based billing, subscription, or invoice events

## Verification (core)

Orb signs every webhook with HMAC-SHA256 over the literal string `v1:{X-Orb-Timestamp}:{rawBody}`. The hex digest is delivered in `X-Orb-Signature` prefixed with `v1=` (e.g. `v1=abc123…`). The ISO 8601 timestamp arrives separately in `X-Orb-Timestamp`. Use the **raw** request body — don't `JSON.parse` first.

The `orb-billing` SDK (npm and PyPI) does **not** expose an `unwrap()`/`constructEvent()` helper at this time, so manual HMAC verification is the canonical path in every framework.

Node:

```javascript
const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyOrbSignature(rawBody, signatureHeader, timestamp, secret) {
if (!signatureHeader || !timestamp) return false;
const provided = signatureHeader.startsWith('v1=') ? signatureHeader.slice(3) : signatureHeader;
const expected = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(`v1:${timestamp}:${rawBody}`)
.digest('hex');
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(provided, 'hex'), Buffer.from(expected, 'hex'));
} catch {
return false;
}
}
```

Python:

```python
import hmac, hashlib

def verify_orb_signature(raw_body: bytes, signature_header: str, timestamp: str, secret: str) -> bool:
if not signature_header or not timestamp:
return False
provided = signature_header[3:] if signature_header.startswith("v1=") else signature_header
expected = hmac.new(
secret.encode(), f"v1:{timestamp}:".encode() + raw_body, hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()
return hmac.compare_digest(provided, expected)
```

> - [examples/nextjs/](examples/nextjs/) — Next.js App Router implementation
> - [examples/fastapi/](examples/fastapi/) — Python FastAPI implementation

## Common Event Types

| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `customer.created` | New customer created |
| `customer.credit_balance_dropped` | Prepaid credit balance fell below a threshold |
| `subscription.created` | New subscription created |
| `subscription.started` | Subscription's billing period started |
| `subscription.ended` | Subscription ended |
| `subscription.plan_changed` | Subscription moved to a different plan |
| `subscription.usage_exceeded` | Usage crossed a configured threshold |
| `invoice.issued` | Invoice finalized and issued to customer |
| `invoice.payment_succeeded` | Invoice paid successfully |
| `invoice.payment_failed` | Invoice payment attempt failed |
| `data_exports.transfer_success` | Scheduled data export delivered |

> **For full event reference**, see [Orb Webhook Documentation](https://docs.withorb.com/integrations-and-exports/webhooks)

## Environment Variables

```bash
ORB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_webhook_signing_secret # Per-endpoint secret from Orb dashboard
```

The webhook signing secret is configured per webhook endpoint in the Orb dashboard — it is **not** your account API key.

## Local Development

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

## Recommended: webhook-handler-patterns

We recommend installing the [webhook-handler-patterns](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns) skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Orb delivers at-least-once, so consumers should key idempotency on the event `id` field. Key references (open on GitHub):

- [Handler sequence](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/handler-sequence.md) — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
- [Idempotency](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/idempotency.md) — Prevent duplicate processing
- [Error handling](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/error-handling.md) — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
- [Retry logic](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/retry-logic.md) — Provider retry schedules, backoff patterns

# Orb Webhooks - Express Example

Minimal example of receiving Orb webhooks with signature verification.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+
- Orb account with a webhook endpoint and signing secret

## Setup

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

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

3. Add your Orb webhook signing secret to `.env` (from Orb Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks → your endpoint).

## Run

```bash
npm start
```

Server runs on http://localhost:3000.

## Test

```bash
npm test
```

## Receive Webhooks Locally

Use the Hookdeck CLI — no account required, one paste-and-run line:

```bash
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 orb --path /webhooks/orb
```

The CLI prints a public URL. Paste it into the Orb dashboard as your webhook endpoint URL, then trigger events from Orb (or replay them from the Hookdeck UI).

## Endpoint

- `POST /webhooks/orb` — Receives and verifies Orb webhook events
- `GET /health` — Health check
