# Rotate a webhook's signing secret

Source: https://ethicsportal.eu/developers/api/operations/rotatewebhooksecret/

POST

/organizations/{organization\_id}/webhooks/{webhook\_id}/rotate.json

```
const url = 'https://secure.ethicsportal.eu/organizations/example/webhooks/example/rotate.json';
const options = {method: 'POST', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}
```

```
curl --request POST \
  --url https://secure.ethicsportal.eu/organizations/example/webhooks/example/rotate.json \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
```

* EthicsPortal application

Replace the signing secret immediately; there is no overlap period. Pending deliveries from the previous secret are cancelled. The response contains the new secret once. A personal token also needs its user to be a current administrator of the organisation.

## Authorizations

* **[personalToken](https://ethicsportal.eu/developers/api/#personaltoken)**  
webhooks:write
* **[organizationToken](https://ethicsportal.eu/developers/api/#organizationtoken)**  
webhooks:write

## Parameters

### Path Parameters

**organization\_id**

required

string

Obfuscated organisation ID returned by identity.

**webhook\_id**

required

string

### Header Parameters

**Idempotency-Key**

string

\>= 1 characters <= 255 characters /^\[\\x21-\\x7e\]+$/

Recommended on every POST. Retrying with the same key and the same request within 24 hours returns the first response (with Idempotent-Replayed: true) instead of acting twice. Only successful responses and validation errors are stored; any other outcome releases the key. Reusing a key with a different request returns 409 idempotency\_key\_reused; a retry while the first request is still running returns 409 idempotency\_key\_in\_progress. Keys are scoped to the token.
