Home Assistant Receiving Webhook Error

1

Chaps

I’m trying to setup Webhooks between qBittorrent and HA.
I have this setup as an automation / actual webhook hidden for security

alias: Media <> Movies <> Plex 12 - qBittorrent Webhook Received = DO SOMETHING
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: webhook
    allowed_methods:
      - POST
      - PUT
    local_only: true
    webhook_id: qbittorrent_example_webhook

If I fire a test Webhook from CMD Prompt (Windows) it sends OK and hits HA

curl -v POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message":"Hello World","test":123}' https://MY.duckdns.org:8123/api/webhook/qbittorrent_example_webhook

But I get this error in the HA Logs / and never triggers my automation
Just wondering if anyone has seen

Hey Chris, you’ve helped me before
And just want to say THANKS
So I tried that

curl -v **-X** POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message":"Hello World","test":123}' https://MY.duckdns.org:8123/api/webhook/qbittorrent_example_webhook

And got the same/similar error

I hope you understood the “*” were just for highlight? :wink:
So, actually, curl -v -X POST ...

Sorry also tried

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message":"Hello World","test":123}' https://MY.duckdns.org:8123/api/webhook/qbittorrent_example_webhook

Although the command went through quicker / sorry I don’t know curl commands

Did a quick test and works for me.
The error message points to some garbage on the data sent, but I can’t see it…

Interesting
OK, thanks a lot mate, I’ll keep playing and come back to you if I need to
Now I know the correct syntax, hopefully I can get it working
THANKS AGAIN MATE

Honestly, as an old age dude (58 now), I’d be lost without you guys and all your help. Thanks a bunch. HNY BTW

I love that mate . . . . . still smashing it at 59

OK, progress
This works and triggers my automation; no errors in the log

So it’s the message payload causing the problem
Any thoughts ?

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://MY.duckdns.org:8123/api/webhook/qbittorrent_example_webhook

On Windows you need to use a different quoting style; the single quotes don’t work so you have to use double quotes on the outside and escape the ones on the inside.

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"message\":\"Hello World\",\"test\":123}" https://MY.duckdns.org:8123/api/webhook/qbittorrent_example_webhook
