# Create a Webhook Endpoint

> Creates a webhook endpoint subscribed to one or more events.

Requires the `webhooks:write` scope.

<Warning>The **creation response is the only time the signing `secret` is returned.** Store it securely — you'll need it to [verify signatures](/api-reference/webhooks/overview#verifying-signatures), and it can't be retrieved again.</Warning>

### Body

<ParamField body="url" type="string" required>
  The endpoint URL to deliver events to. Must be HTTPS.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="events" type="array[string]" required>
  The events to subscribe to. Must be a non-empty list of valid event names — see [List Available Events](/api-reference/webhooks/events).
</ParamField>

### Response

Returns `201 Created` with the endpoint, including the one-time `secret`.

<Snippet file="webhooks/endpoint-fields.mdx" />

<ResponseField name="secret" type="string">
  The HMAC signing secret, returned **only** in this creation response. Store it securely.
</ResponseField>
