Webhooks
Gitea supports webhooks for repository events. This can be configured in the settings
page /:username/:reponame/settings/hooks by a repository admin. Webhooks can also be configured on a per-organization and whole system basis.
All event pushes are POST requests. The methods currently supported are:
- Gitea (can also be a GET request)
- Gogs
- Slack
- Discord
- Dingtalk
- Telegram
- Microsoft Teams
- Feishu
- Wechatwork
- Packagist

Example
This is an example of how to use webhooks to run a php script upon push requests to the repository. In your repository Settings, under Webhooks, Setup a Gitea webhook as follows:
- Target URL: http://mydomain.com/webhook.php
- HTTP Method: POST
- POST Content Type: application/json
- Secret: 123
- Trigger On: Push Events
- Active: Checked
Now on your server create the php file webhook.php
<?php
$secret_key = '123';
// check for POST request
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST') {
error_log('FAILED - not POST - '. $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']);
exit();
}
// get content type
$content_type = isset($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE']) ? strtolower(trim($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'])) : '';
if ($content_type != 'application/json') {
error_log('FAILED - not application/json - '. $content_type);
exit();
}
// get payload
$payload = trim(file_get_contents("php://input"));
if (empty($payload)) {
error_log('FAILED - no payload');
exit();
}
// get header signature
$header_signature = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_GITEA_SIGNATURE']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_GITEA_SIGNATURE'] : '';
if (empty($header_signature)) {
error_log('FAILED - header signature missing');
exit();
}
// calculate payload signature
$payload_signature = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, $secret_key, false);
// check payload signature against header signature
if ($header_signature !== $payload_signature) {
error_log('FAILED - payload signature');
exit();
}
// convert json to array
$decoded = json_decode($payload, true);
// check for json decode errors
if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
error_log('FAILED - json decode - '. json_last_error());
exit();
}
// success, do something
There is a Test Delivery button in the webhook settings that allows to test the configuration as well as a list of the most Recent Deliveries.
Authorization header
With 1.19, Gitea hooks can be configured to send an authorization header to the webhook target.
