the billing provider webhook receiver

POST 
/api/v1/credits/webhooks/polar

Receive and dispatch the billing provider payment webhooks.

Public endpoint — this is not Bearer-authenticated. the billing provider signs the raw request body using the Standard Webhooks scheme: webhook-id, webhook-timestamp, and webhook-signature headers with an HMAC-SHA256 over {webhook-id}.{webhook-timestamp}.{body} keyed by polar_webhook_secret. Timestamps outside ±5 minutes are rejected. A mismatch returns 401. In non-dev environments a missing secret fails closed.

Handled event types:

• checkout.completed — credits the checkout's organization after re-verifying the checkout ownership against the billing provider API.

• checkout.failed — logged and ignored.

• Any other event — logged and ignored.

• Rate-limit tier: webhook (60 req/minute).

Responses

200

Successful Response

400

Bad request — malformed input or failed validation.

404

Resource not found, or hidden for tenant-enumeration safety (the caller lacks permission to know whether the resource exists).

409

Conflict — the current resource state does not allow this operation (e.g. assessment already started, email already in use).

422

Semantic validation failure — request shape was valid but contents were not.

429

Too many requests — rate limited. Retry after the window resets.

500

Internal server error — unexpected failure.
