Create Webhook

Programatically create a Helius webhook.

Note: It may take up to 2 minutes for webhook changes to take effect!

POST /webhooks

Creates a webhook given account addresses, transaction types, and a webhook URL. You can optionally provide an authorization header to verify that the webhook came from Helius.

Important! For a full list of supported transactionTypes —please see Transaction Types

If you'd like a raw transaction payload instead of our enhanced transaction object, please input "raw" for the webhookType. If you'd like the enhanced version, input "enhanced". Note that raw transactions have much lower latencies due to us not parsing the event types.
