Juicebox Webhooks & Events

Juicebox Webhooks & Events

Overview

Juicebox delivers webhook notifications for AI-powered people search and analysis workflows. Subscribe to events for completed analyses, updated datasets, ready exports, and quota warnings to build automated pipelines that react to Juicebox intelligence in real time without polling the API.

Webhook Registration

const response = await fetch("https://api.juicebox.ai/​v1/​webhooks", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.JUICEBOX_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/​json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: "https://yourapp.com/​webhooks/​juicebox",
    events: ["analysis.completed", "dataset.updated", "export.ready", "quota.warning"],
    secret: process.env.JUICEBOX_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
  }),
});

Signature Verification

import crypto from "crypto";
import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from "express";

function verifyJuiceboxSignature(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
  const signature = req.headers["x-juicebox-signature"] as string;
  const expected = crypto.createHmac("sha256", process.env.JUICEBOX_WEBHOOK_SECRET!)
    .update(req.body).digest("hex");
  if (!crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected))) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: "Invalid signature" });
  }
  next();
}

Event Handler

import express from "express";
const app = express();

app.post("/​webhooks/​juicebox", express.raw({ type: "application/​json" }), verifyJuiceboxSignature, (req, res) => {
  const event = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());
  res.status(200).json({ received: true });

  switch (event.type) {
    case "analysis.completed":
      fetchResults(event.data.analysis_id, event.data.result_count); break;
    case "dataset.updated":
      refreshDashboard(event.data.dataset_id, event.data.records_added); break;
    case "export.ready":
      downloadExport(event.data.export_id, event.data.download_url); break;
    case "quota.warning":
      notifyAdmin(event.data.usage_percent, event.data.reset_date); break;
  }
});

Event Types

Retry & Idempotency

const processed = new Set<string>();

async function handleIdempotent(event: { id: string; type: string; data: any }) {
  if (processed.has(event.id)) return;
  await routeEvent(event);
  processed.add(event.id);
  if (processed.size > 10_000) {
    const entries = Array.from(processed);
    entries.slice(0, entries.length - 10_000).forEach((id) => processed.delete(id));
  }
}
