Webhooks

Rather than polling, you can have StatementIQ POST an event to your server when something happens to a request. Set your webhook URL in the portal under Settings → Company. A signing secret is generated for you at the same time.

Events

• consent.completed — the customer authorised data sharing.
• report.ready — the report has been generated and can be fetched.
• request.withdrawn — consent was withdrawn (by the customer or your firm); derived data has been deleted.

Payload

We POST JSON to your URL. Every payload includes the request_id:

{
  "event": "report.ready",
  "request_id": "req_1a2b3c…",
  "verification_id": "SIQ-6EABF8EC",
  "report_type": "expense_summary",
  "client_name": "Jordan Wilson"
}

On report.ready, call GET /v1/requests/{id}/report to fetch the report.

Verifying the signature

Each delivery includes an X-StatementIQ-Signature header: the HMAC-SHA256 of the raw request body, keyed with your webhook signing secret. Recompute it and compare before trusting a payload.

import hmac, hashlib

def verify(secret: str, raw_body: bytes, signature: str) -> bool:
    expected = hmac.new(secret.encode(), raw_body, hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
    return hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature)
