Fully customisable, very detailed web hooks, JSON payload data posting using Scripter-X

[Anthony Musgrove 220]

Hey guys,

I just thought I'd give you an update on Scripter-X v6.0.0.5 on the catalog, with regard to JSON payload posting.

I've added an internal processor  WEB:POSTJSON

You can send json payload based on any logic criteria, using any of the supported Scripter-X events using simple actions, and both the URL and the payload file is token supported.

If you'd like more information, please check out the wiki page:  https://wiki.emby-scripterx.au/en/processors/web

 

test_payload_webpost.json:

{
  "user":
  {
    "id": "%user.id%",
    "username": "%username%",
    "password": "%password%"
  },

  "device":
  {
    "id": "%device.id%",
    "name": "%device.name%",
    "ip_addr": "%device.remote.ipaddress%"
  },

  "server":
  {
    "name": "%server.name%",
    "version": "%server.version%"
  },

  "scripterx":
  {
    "version": "%scripterx.version%"
  }
}

 

example testendpoint.php:

<?php

        //test web:post endpoint
        $data = file_get_contents('php://input');

        $new_log_entry = "\r\n ============================ \r\n";
        $new_log_entry .= "Date/Time: ".date("Y-m-d h:i:sa")."\r\n";

        $data_processed = json_decode($data, true);

        $new_log_entry .= "Processed Json: ".print_r($data_processed,true)."\r\n";

        file_put_contents('/path/to/writeable/endpoint.log', $new_log_entry, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);

 

example yielded log (endpoint.log):

============================
Date/Time: 2025-03-30 09:36:45pm
Processed Json: Array
(
    [user] => Array
        (
            [id] => 0
            [username] => asdfasdf
            [password] => sadfasdf
        )

    [device] => Array
        (
            [id] => e396607d-b63c-4326-a899-32088a3ef612
            [name] => Microsoft Edge Windows
            [ip_addr] => ::1
        )

    [server] => Array
        (
            [name] => DESKTOP-5GKNOAV
            [version] => 4.8.11.0
        )

    [scripterx] => Array
        (
            [version] => 6.0.0.4
        )

)

 

as always, the sky is the limit - your creativity is the canvas with ScripterX.

If you have any questions or queries, please let me know.   ScripterX also supports email and secure email, however I haven't revised and documented these functions for the wiki yet, that will come shortly.

 

Kind regards,

Anthony

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome @Luke

 

I've also updated WEB:POST to do exactly that, send a POST formatted query string to an endpoint.  I've also updated the wiki to reflect this:

 

https://wiki.emby-scripterx.au/en/processors/web

web:post

When you need your action to send a standard POST data packet (like submitting a HTML form for example), use web:post.
 

Run:	URL to your endpoint, for example https://myserver.com/myendpoint.php or https://myserver.com/myendpoint.php?username=%username%	This field supports tokens
using:	web:post
Parameters:	Formatted POST data string, tokenizable, please see example below.	This field supports tokens
where:	(optional) configure logic for matching this rule to required event conditions & filters
Formatted POST data string example:   username=%username%&device_name=%device.name%&password=%password%&ipaddr=%device.remote.ipaddress% Copy Example myendpoint.php:   <?php //test web:post endpoint $new_log_entry = "\r\n ============================ \r\n"; $new_log_entry .= "Date/Time: ".date("Y-m-d h:i:sa")."\r\n"; $new_log_entry .= "Posted Data: ".print_r($_POST,true)."\r\n"; file_put_contents('/path/to/endpoint.log', $new_log_entry, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX); Copy Example endpoint.log result: ============================ Date/Time: 2025-03-31 10:14:55am Posted Data: Array ( [username] => asdfasdf [device_name] => Microsoft Edge Windows [password] => sadfasdf [ipaddr] => ::1 ) Copy
