About Callback Services

Overview

The ThingSpace firmware Management Services API can use a callback service (webhook) to send messages to your application when new firmware versions are available and when upgrades start and finish.

Subscribing to Callback Services

To receive callback messages, you will need to create and deploy a web service that can validate and process REST messages that conform to the callback JSON schema. You then need to register the URL of your web service so that ThingSpace knows where to send the callback messages.

NOTE: To receive callback messages from Verizon ThingSpace servers, you may need to create firewall rules white-listing the appropriate IP addresses provided by Verizon. The following IP addresses should be white-listed:

3.87.163.45
3.91.119.203
54.197.62.209
54.200.43.232
34.216.81.234
137.117.33.109
168.62.173.153
68.128.212.217

NOTE: To test your callback listening services in a non-production environment, you must have an external URL for the server that is hosting the web services. ThingSpace cannot send callback messages to a system that does not have a URL.

Callback Security

To increase security when receiving callback messages from ThingSpace, you can implement these protocols:

Enable white-listing on your firewall or front-end server and add the ThingSpace IP address to the white list. This allows your servers to reject requests from other IP addresses.
Install a one-way certificate and enable HTTPS. You must use a certificate from a third-party certificate service; a self-signed certificate will not work. ThingSpace checks the validity of the certificate at the start of every session.

Callback JSON Schema

All callback messages conform to one of two structures. Note that elements will be empty if not applicable to the current callback type (for example, the firmwareList element will be an empty array in an upgradeProgress callback message).

It is important that you know which protocol that devices are using because that will determine if you are using the /v1 or /v2 resource path and the associated callback JSON Schema.
