Discord webhooks

Interactions from slash commands, buttons and modals for a bot or app.

Events

PING
APPLICATION_COMMAND
MESSAGE_COMPONENT
MODAL_SUBMIT

Signature

Headers X-Signature-Ed25519 and X-Signature-Timestamp. Verify the Ed25519 signature over '<timestamp><raw body>' with the app's public key. Discord rejects an endpoint that does not verify.

✓ A bin checks Discord signatures: add the application public key (64 hex characters, from the Developer Portal) under Signature verification (Discord).

Retries

Discord does not retry interactions. Respond within 3 seconds, or defer and follow up.

See a retry schedule in the calculator.
