54 ## Receiving stanzas
55
56 TL;DR: Set this webhook callback URL, get XML `POST`-ed there.
57
58 ``` {.lua}
59 Component "rest.example.net" "rest"
60 rest_callback_url = "http://my-api.example:9999/stanzas"
61 ```
62
63 Example callback looks like:
64
65 ``` {.xml}
66 POST /stanzas HTTP/1.1
67 Content-Type: application/xmpp+xml
68 Content-Length: 52
69
70 <message to="bot@rest.example.net" from="user@example.com" type="chat">
71 <body>Hello</body>
72 </message>
73 ```
74
75 ### Replying
76
77 To accept the stanza without returning a reply, respond with HTTP status
78 code `202` or `204`.
79
80 For full control over the response, set the `Content-Type` header to
81 `application/xmpp+xml` and return an XMPP stanza as an XML snippet.
82
83 ``` {.xml}
84 HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
85 Content-Type: application/xmpp+xml
86
87 <message type="chat">
88 <body>Yes, this is bot</body>
89 </message>
90 ```
