Notification schema

Header

The header contains a field named TL-Signature. This allows you to verify that the event was sent by Twelve Labs. The TL-Signature field is composed of two parts:

  • t : A Unix timestamp representing the time when the platform has sent the notification.
  • v1 : A signature generated uniquely for each webhook event, using HMAC with SHA-256. For instructions on how you can verify the signature, see the Validate the integrity of an event section.

  • id: A string representing the unique identifier of the notification.
  • created_at: A string indicating the date and time, in the RFC 3339 format, that the platform has sent the notification.
  • type: A string indicating the type of event. It can take one of the following values:
    • index.task.ready: Specifies that your video is ready to be searched
    • index.task.failed: Specifies that the video indexing task has failed.
  • data: An object that contains the following information:
