asyncapi_spec_published: false
asyncapi_note: >-
  Buf publishes no AsyncAPI document, and an AsyncAPI would misdescribe this surface anyway:
  delivery is a Protobuf RPC call to a Connect endpoint you implement, not a message on a
  broker or a JSON webhook POST. The event contract is the buf.alpha.webhook.v1alpha1
  Protobuf package, which is the machine-readable definition here. Nothing was generated.
maturity: alpha
availability:
  public_bsr: false
  private_instance: 'Yes, but disabled by default — contact Support or your Buf representative to enable.'
  on_prem: 'Enabled by default; batch size and interval configurable.'
  note: 'This feature is NOT available on the public buf.build. It is a private-instance capability.'
delivery:
  style: Connect RPC callback
  transport: HTTPS
  callback_path_suffix: /buf.alpha.webhook.v1alpha1.EventService/Event
  content_type: application/proto
  request_message: buf.alpha.webhook.v1alpha1.EventRequest
  response_message: buf.alpha.webhook.v1alpha1.EventResponse
  batching: 'Up to 20 events every 5 seconds by default.'
  guarantees: at-most-once
  signed: false
  retried: false
  reconciliation: >-
    Buf explicitly says delivery is best-effort — events are neither signed nor retried — and
    tells consumers to reconcile from the BSR if they need stronger guarantees.
subscriptions:
  scope: one repository
  cardinality: 'One webhook per repository event, so a repository has at most one subscription.'
  permission: Admin role on the repository
  cli:
    create: >-
      buf beta registry webhook create --owner=<org> --repository=<repo>
      --callback-url=https://your.callback.url/buf.alpha.webhook.v1alpha1.EventService/Event
      --event=WEBHOOK_EVENT_REPOSITORY_PUSH
    list: buf beta registry webhook list
    delete: buf beta registry webhook delete
events:
  - name: WEBHOOK_EVENT_REPOSITORY_PUSH
    trigger: a successful buf push
    payload: EventRequest.payload.repository_push
    note: 'The only supported event.'
event_count: 1
use_cases:
  - Trigger downstream CI/CD on a successful buf push.
  - Notify a Slack channel or issue tracker when modules change.
  - Tag a Git repository in response to a BSR commit.
stability_warning: >-
  Buf labels buf.alpha.webhook.v1alpha1, buf.alpha.registry.v1alpha1 and the
  `buf beta registry webhook` commands as alpha and says to expect them to change.
