Explaining the concept of virtual webhooks

Updated over a year ago

More info on Apideck & Webhooks can be found in our online docs: https://developers.apideck.com/guides/webhooks#virtual-webhooks

Some APIs don’t natively support webhooks.

Missing native webhooks

To prevent you from building data polling infrastructure, we’re introducing Virtualized Webhooks to let our partners receive Webhook events about changes by polling API endpoints as part of the Unify platform.

Virtual webhooks

Our proprietary polling engine monitors for changes in records inside APIs and notifies you about changes via unified webhook events, enabling new use cases and powerful features like bi-directional sync.

The Unify platform will handle all the sync & polling complexity ( like pagination, automatic retries, rate limits, change tracking, ...).

This all happens without storing data on our end. Keeping sustainability and computing resources in mind.
