Webhooks for automated builds

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

If you have an automated build repository in Docker Hub, you can use Webhooks to cause an action in another application in response to an event in the repository. Docker Hub webhooks fire when an image is built in, or a new tag added to, your automated build repository.

With your webhook, you specify a target URL and a JSON payload to deliver. The example webhook below generates an HTTP POST that delivers a JSON payload:

{
  "callback_url": "https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/svendowideit/testhook/hook/2141b5bi5i5b02bec211i4eeih0242eg11000a/",
  "push_data": {

        "..."
    ],

  },

    "star_count": 0,
    "status": "Active"
  }
}

Note: If you want to test your webhook, we recommend using a tool like requestb.in. Also note, the Docker Hub server can’t be filtered by IP address.
