## Overview
Securely handle Replit webhooks with signature validation and replay protection.
## Prerequisites
- Replit webhook secret configured
- HTTPS endpoint accessible from internet
- Understanding of cryptographic signatures
- Redis or database for idempotency (optional)
## Webhook Endpoint Setup
### Express.js
```typescript
import express from 'express';
import crypto from 'crypto';
const app = express();
// IMPORTANT: Raw body needed for signature verification
app.post('/webhooks/replit',
express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
async (req, res) => {
const signature = req.headers['x-replit-signature'] as string;
const timestamp = req.headers['x-replit-timestamp'] as string;
if (!verifyReplitSignature(req.body, signature, timestamp)) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
}
const event = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());
await handleReplitEvent(event);
res.status(200).json({ received: true });
}
);
```
## Signature Verification
```typescript
function verifyReplitSignature(
payload: Buffer,
signature: string,
timestamp: string
): boolean {
const secret = process.env.REPLIT_WEBHOOK_SECRET!;
// Reject old timestamps (replay attack protection)
const timestampAge = Date.now() - parseInt(timestamp) * 1000;
if (timestampAge > 300000) { // 5 minutes
console.error('Webhook timestamp too old');
return false;
}
// Compute expected signature
const signedPayload = `${timestamp}.${payload.toString()}`;
const expectedSignature = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(signedPayload)
.digest('hex');
// Timing-safe comparison
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(signature),
Buffer.from(expectedSignature)
);
}
```
## Event Handler Pattern
```typescript
type ReplitEventType = 'resource.created' | 'resource.updated' | 'resource.deleted';
interface ReplitEvent {
id: string;
type: ReplitEventType;
