# General Webhooks allow you to upload data to talque, usually in response to some external event. Unlike the (readonly) [JSON API](/public/json-api/general.md), all webhooks require authentication which is sent as part of the HTTP headers. The payload is always JSON-encoded and sent as the body of a HTTP POST request. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://talque.gitbook.io/public/webhooks/general.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
