feat: add scrapfly-webhooks skill for Scrapfly webhook handling
Adds a complete provider skill covering Scrapfly's HMAC-SHA256 webhook signature scheme (uppercase hex over raw body, X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature header), routing by X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type (scrape, extraction, screenshot), and Crawler API lifecycle events. Includes Express, Next.js, and FastAPI examples with tests that generate real Scrapfly signatures.

# Scrapfly Webhooks
16+
17+
## When to Use This Skill
18+
19+
- How do I receive Scrapfly webhooks?
20+
- How do I verify Scrapfly webhook signatures?
21+
- How do I handle async Scrape API, Extraction API, or Screenshot API results?
22+
- How do I route Scrapfly webhooks by resource type (scrape, extraction, screenshot)?
23+
- How do I handle Crawler API webhook events (`crawler_started`, `crawler_finished`, ...)?
24+
- Why is my Scrapfly webhook signature verification failing?
25+
26+
## How Scrapfly Webhooks Work
27+
28+
Scrapfly uses HMAC-SHA256 with **uppercase hex** encoding over the **raw request body**. There is no SDK for webhook verification — implementations follow Scrapfly's documented algorithm.
29+
30+
Key facts:
31+
32+
- **Signature header**: `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature` (uppercase hex). A duplicate `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature-Lowercase` is also sent for runtimes that normalise headers.
33+
- **Algorithm**: `HMAC-SHA256(secret, raw_body).hexdigest().upper()`
34+
- **What is signed**: The **raw request body bytes**. Do **not** parse and re-serialise JSON — that changes the byte sequence and breaks the signature.
35+
- **No timestamp / replay window**: Scrapfly does not include a timestamp header; treat the signature as authenticity-only.
36+
- **Secret**: Use the value from the Scrapfly dashboard exactly as shown. Do not trim or base64-decode it.
37+
- **Routing**: Use `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` (`scrape`, `extraction`, `screenshot`) to dispatch when one endpoint serves multiple products. Crawler events also carry `X-Scrapfly-Crawl-Event-Name` and an `event` field in the body.
38+
39+
## Essential Code (USE THIS)
40+
41+
### Scrapfly Signature Verification (JavaScript)
42+
43+
```javascript
44+
const crypto = require('crypto');
45+
46+
function verifyScrapflySignature(rawBody, signatureHeader, secret) {
47+
if (!signatureHeader || !secret) return false;
48+
49+
// Scrapfly emits uppercase hex
50+
const expected = crypto
51+
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
52+
.update(rawBody)
53+
.digest('hex')
54+
.toUpperCase();
55+
56+
// Accept either casing — Scrapfly also sends an X-...-Lowercase variant
57+
const received = signatureHeader.toUpperCase();
58+
59+
try {
60+
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
61+
Buffer.from(received, 'hex'),
62+
Buffer.from(expected, 'hex')
63+
);
64+
} catch {
65+
return false;
66+
}
67+
}
68+
```
69+
70+
### Express Webhook Handler
71+
72+
```javascript
73+
const express = require('express');
74+
const app = express();
75+
76+
// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() — Scrapfly signs the raw body bytes
77+
app.post('/webhooks/scrapfly',
78+
express.raw({ type: '*/*' }),
79+
(req, res) => {
80+
const signature = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-signature'];
81+
const resourceType = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-resource-type'];
82+
const jobId = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-job-id'];
83+
const webhookId = req.headers['x-scrapfly-webhook-id'];
84+
85+
if (!verifyScrapflySignature(req.body, signature, process.env.SCRAPFLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET)) {
86+
console.error('Scrapfly signature verification failed');
87+
return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
88+
}
89+
90+
// Parse only after verifying
91+
const payload = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());
92+
93+
console.log(`Scrapfly ${resourceType} webhook (job ${jobId}, id ${webhookId})`);
94+
95+
// Route by resource type for scrape / extraction / screenshot APIs
96+
switch (resourceType) {
97+
case 'scrape':
98+
console.log('Scrape result:', payload.result?.status_code, payload.context?.url);
99+
break;
100+
case 'extraction':
101+
console.log('Extraction result:', payload.result?.data);
102+
break;
103+
case 'screenshot':
104+
console.log('Screenshot result:', payload.result?.screenshot_url);
105+
break;
106+
default:
107+
// Crawler API uses event names in the body
108+
if (payload.event) {
109+
console.log(`Crawler event: ${payload.event}`, payload.payload);
110+
} else {
111+
console.log('Unhandled resource type:', resourceType);
112+
}
113+
}
114+
115+
res.status(200).send('OK');
116+
}
117+
);
118+
```
119+
120+
### Python Signature Verification (FastAPI)
121+
122+
```python
123+
import hmac
124+
import hashlib
125+
126+
def verify_scrapfly_signature(raw_body: bytes, signature_header: str, secret: str) -> bool:
127+
if not signature_header or not secret:
128+
return False
129+
130+
expected = hmac.new(
131+
secret.encode('utf-8'),
132+
raw_body,
133+
hashlib.sha256,
134+
).hexdigest().upper()
135+
136+
# Compare case-insensitively (Scrapfly also sends a lowercase header)
137+
return hmac.compare_digest(expected, signature_header.upper())
138+
```
139+

145+
## Common Resource Types and Crawler Events
146+
147+
The `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` header identifies the originating API:
148+
149+
| Resource Type | Description |
150+
|---------------|-------------|
151+
| `scrape` | Async Scrape API result delivery |
152+
| `extraction` | Async Extraction API result delivery |
153+
| `screenshot` | Async Screenshot API result delivery |
154+
155+
Crawler API webhooks carry an `event` string in the body (also exposed as `X-Scrapfly-Crawl-Event-Name`):
156+
157+
| Event | Description |
158+
|-------|-------------|
159+
| `crawler_started` | Crawl job began |
160+
| `crawler_url_visited` | A URL was successfully fetched |
161+
| `crawler_url_discovered` | A new URL was queued |
162+
| `crawler_url_skipped` | A URL was skipped (filters, dedupe, ...) |
163+
| `crawler_url_failed` | A URL fetch failed |
164+
| `crawler_stopped` | Crawl stopped (limit reached) |
165+
| `crawler_cancelled` | Crawl cancelled by user |
166+
| `crawler_finished` | Crawl finished naturally |
167+
168+
> **For more context**, see [Scrapfly Scrape API Webhooks](https://scrapfly.io/docs/scrape-api/webhook), [Extraction API Webhooks](https://scrapfly.io/docs/extraction-api/webhook), [Screenshot API Webhooks](https://scrapfly.io/docs/screenshot-api/webhook), and [Crawler API](https://scrapfly.io/docs/crawler-api/getting-started).
169+
170+
## Important Headers
171+
172+
| Header | Description |
173+
|--------|-------------|
174+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature` | HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body, uppercase hex |
175+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature-Lowercase` | Same signature, lowercase hex |
176+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Id` | Unique webhook delivery identifier |
177+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Name` | Name of the configured webhook |
178+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` | `scrape`, `extraction`, or `screenshot` |
179+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Job-Id` | Unique job identifier (use for reconciliation) |
180+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Env` | Environment (e.g. `production`) |
181+
| `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Project` | Project name |
182+
| `X-Scrapfly-Crawl-Event-Name` | Crawler API event name (e.g. `crawler_finished`) |
183+
184+
## Environment Variables
185+
186+
```bash
187+
SCRAPFLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_signing_secret_here # From the Scrapfly dashboard
188+
```
189+
190+
## Local Development
191+
192+
For local webhook testing, use the Hookdeck CLI tunnel (no account required, no install step needed):
193+
194+
```bash
195+
# Express / Next.js (port 3000)
196+
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 scrapfly --path /webhooks/scrapfly
197+
198+
# FastAPI (port 8000)
199+
npx hookdeck-cli listen 8000 scrapfly --path /webhooks/scrapfly
200+
```
201+
202+
Configure the tunnel URL as the destination in your Scrapfly dashboard webhook, then trigger an async job with `webhook_name=<name>` to invoke delivery.
203+

# Scrapfly Webhooks - Express Example
2+
3+
Minimal example of receiving Scrapfly webhooks with signature verification.
4+
5+
## Prerequisites
6+
7+
- Node.js 18+
8+
- A Scrapfly account with a webhook configured (see [setup.md](../../references/setup.md))
9+
10+
## Setup
11+
12+
1. Install dependencies:
13+
```bash
14+
npm install
15+
```
16+
17+
2. Copy environment variables:
18+
```bash
19+
cp .env.example .env
20+
```
21+
22+
3. Add your Scrapfly webhook signing secret to `.env`:
23+
```bash
24+
SCRAPFLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=<value-from-scrapfly-dashboard>
25+
```
26+
27+
## Run
28+
29+
```bash
30+
npm start
31+
```
32+
33+
Server runs on http://localhost:3000.
34+
35+
## Test
36+
37+
```bash
38+
npm test
39+
```
40+
41+
The test suite generates valid HMAC-SHA256 signatures with the same algorithm Scrapfly uses (uppercase hex over the raw body) and asserts the endpoint accepts/rejects accordingly.
42+
43+
## Receive Webhooks Locally
44+
45+
Use the Hookdeck CLI tunnel (no install step required):
46+
47+
```bash
48+
npx hookdeck-cli listen 3000 scrapfly --path /webhooks/scrapfly
49+
```
50+
51+
Paste the printed public URL into your Scrapfly dashboard webhook configuration, then trigger an async Scrapfly job with `webhook_name=<your-webhook-name>&async=true`.
52+
53+
## Endpoint
54+
55+
- `POST /webhooks/scrapfly` — Receives and verifies Scrapfly webhook deliveries
56+
- `GET /health` — Health check
57+
58+
## How It Works
59+
60+
1. The webhook body arrives as raw bytes (`express.raw({ type: '*/*' })`).
61+
2. `verifyScrapflySignature` computes `upper(hex(HMAC_SHA256(secret, rawBody)))` and timing-safe-compares it to the `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Signature` header.
62+
3. If valid, the body is `JSON.parse`d and dispatched by `X-Scrapfly-Webhook-Resource-Type` (`scrape` / `extraction` / `screenshot`) or, for the Crawler API, by the `event` field in the body.
