HTTP Post Header

📐 Rule Machine®

Hello,

I'm trying to trigger a webhook on a Unifi Alarm Manager to open a gate. Unifi requires a HTTP Post header request to authenticate. Does anyone know how to send header info using Hubitat's HTTP Post?

Here's a curl example:

curl -k -X GET 'https://YOUR_CONSOLE_IP/proxy/network/integration/v1/sites'
-H 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY'
-H 'Accept: application/json'

if youre into writing your own app you are looking for httpPost or asynchttpPost. webcore from my understanding can also do this, but i do not have personal experence with it. I know RM currently can not do this.

Hi @sidjohn1 . I don't know how to write apps. I was hoping for some built-in options.

I don't know about Rule Machine, but you can certainly do it in Webcore, a built-in app.

I finally figured out how to do this. Here's a driver for those wanting Hubitat to Unifi Protect webhook triggers:

metadata {
	definition(
		name: "Unifi Protect Webhook Trigger",
		namespace: "unifi-protect-webhook-trigger",
		author: "David Trautman"
	) {
		capability "Switch"
	}

	preferences {
		input name: "triggerLink",
		type: "string",
		title: "Trigger link",
		required: true,
		defaultValue: ""
      
		input name: "apiKey",
		type: "string",
		title: "Protect API key",
		required: true,
		defaultValue: ""
	}
}

def on() {
	def params = [
		uri: "${triggerLink}",
		headers: [
            "X-API-KEY": "${apiKey}",
            "Accept": " application/json"
        ],
		ignoreSSLIssues: true
	]
	try {
		httpPost(params) {
		  resp ->
			options = resp.data
		}
	} catch (e) {
		log.error "$e - Post Params: $params"
	}
}

Nice! I use asynchttpGet to send data to google sheets. I moved on from Webcore a few years ago, and I now code all automations in Groovy.

def sendLog(tab,params) {
    sendEvent(name: "tab", value: tab)
    sendEvent(name: "params", value: params)

    def googleUri = device.currentValue("googleUri") + tab + "&" + params
    googleUri = googleUri.replace(" ","%20")
    logDebug("Send Uri is ${googleUri}",3)

    def getParams = [
		uri: googleUri,
		requestContentType: 'application/json',
		contentType: 'application/json',
		headers: ['CustomHeader':'CustomHeaderValue'],
	]
    asynchttpGet('logCallbackMethod', getParams, [dataitem1: "datavalue1"])
}
