# Webhooks

## Overview

Webhooks provide a way for your application to receive real time notifications about events from our API endpoints. With webhooks, you don’t have to constantly check for updates manually and your application is able to perform certain actions based on the response from our endpoints.

## Setting up webhooks

To set up webhooks with our API, you would need to create a URL on your server to handle the incoming webhook data. Once this is created, it can be configured with our APIs.

### Here’s how you do it.

* When [creating an app](/introduction/getting-started.md#step-3-get-your-api-keys), there is an option for webhook URL
* Ensure to put in the desired webhook URL 
* Save and you’re good to go

Once this is set up, you are able to configure this in your application thus notifying you and/or performing certain actions based on the output.
