Use when setting up FusionAuth webhook handlers, debugging JWT signature verification, or handling authentication events like user.create, user.login.success, user.registration.create, or user.delete.","description":"# FusionAuth Webhooks\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\n- Setting up FusionAuth webhook handlers\n- Debugging JWT signature verification failures\n- Understanding FusionAuth event types and payloads\n- Handling user, login, registration, or group events\n\n## Essential Code (USE THIS)\n\n### FusionAuth Signature Verification (JavaScript)\n\nFusionAuth signs webhooks with a JWT in the `X-FusionAuth-Signature-JWT` header. The JWT contains a `request_body_sha256` claim with the SHA-256 hash of the request body.\n\n```javascript\nconst crypto = require('crypto');\nconst jose = require('jose');\n\n// Verify FusionAuth webhook signature\nasync function verifyFusionAuthWebhook(rawBody, signatureJwt, hmacSecret) {\n  if (!signatureJwt || !hmacSecret) return false;\n\n  try {\n    // Create key from HMAC secret\n    const key = new TextEncoder().encode(hmacSecret);\n\n    // Verify JWT signature and decode\n    const { payload } = await jose.jwtVerify(signatureJwt, key, {\n      algorithms: ['HS256', 'HS384', 'HS512']\n    });\n\n    // Calculate SHA-256 hash of request body\n    const bodyHash = crypto\n      .createHash('sha256')\n      .update(rawBody)\n      .digest('base64');\n\n    // Compare hash from JWT claim with calculated hash\n    return payload.request_body_sha256 === bodyHash;\n  } catch (err) {\n    console.error('JWT verification failed:', err.message);\n    return false;\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Express Webhook Handler\n\n```javascript\nconst express = require('express');\nconst crypto = require('crypto');\nconst jose = require('jose');\n\nconst app = express();\n\n// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() - FusionAuth needs raw body for signature verification\napp.post('/webhooks/fusionauth',\n  express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),\n  async (req, res) => {\n    const signatureJwt = req.headers['x-fusionauth-signature-jwt'];\n\n    // Verify signature\n    const isValid = await verifyFusionAuthWebhook(\n      req.body,\n      signatureJwt,\n      process.env.FUSIONAUTH_WEBHOOK_SECRET  // HMAC signing key from FusionAuth\n    );\n\n    if (!isValid) {\n      console.error('FusionAuth signature verification failed');\n      return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');\n    }\n\n    // Parse payload after verification\n    const event = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());\n\n    console.log(`Received event: ${event.event.type}`);\n\n    // Handle by event type\n    switch (event.event.type) {\n      case 'user.create':\n        console.log('User created:', event.event.user?.id);\n        break;\n      case 'user.update':\n        console.log('User updated:', event.event.user?.id);\n        break;\n      case 'user.login.success':\n        console.log('User logged in:', event.event.user?.id);\n        break;\n      case 'user.registration.create':\n        console.log('User registered:', event.event.user?.id);\n        break;\n      default:\n        console.log('Unhandled event:', event.event.type);\n    }\n\n    res.json({ received: true });\n  }\n);\n```\n\n### Python (FastAPI) Webhook Handler\n\n```python\nimport os\nimport hashlib\nimport base64\nfrom fastapi import FastAPI, Request, HTTPException\nimport jwt\n\nwebhook_secret = os.environ.get(\"FUSIONAUTH_WEBHOOK_SECRET\")\n\ndef verify_fusionauth_webhook(raw_body: bytes, signature_jwt: str, secret: str) -> bool:\n    if not signature_jwt or not secret:\n        return False\n\n    try:\n        # Verify and decode JWT\n        payload = jwt.decode(signature_jwt, secret, algorithms=['HS256', 'HS384', 'HS512'])\n\n        # Calculate SHA-256 hash of request body\n        body_hash = base64.b64encode(hashlib.sha256(raw_body).digest()).decode()\n\n        # Compare hash from JWT claim with calculated hash\n        return payload.get('request_body_sha256') == body_hash\n    except jwt.InvalidTokenError as e:\n        print(f\"JWT verification failed: {e}\")\n        return False\n\n@app.post(\"/webhooks/fusionauth\")\nasync def fusionauth_webhook(request: Request):\n    payload = await request.body()\n    signature_jwt = request.headers.get(\"x-fusionauth-signature-jwt\")\n\n    if not verify_fusionauth_webhook(payload, signature_jwt, webhook_secret):\n        raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail=\"Invalid signature\")\n\n    # Handle event...\n    return {\"received\": True}\n```\n\n> **For complete working examples with tests**, see:\n> -
