Benzinga webhooks eliminate polling by posting real-time market events directly to your HTTP endpoint. Deliveries are JSON POST requests that include a unique X-BZ-Delivery header for deduplication and use a tiered retry strategy to maximize reliability.

Available webhook services

  • Data Webhook Engine: Real-time calendar and signal data (earnings, dividends, ratings, option activity, WIIMs, and more) with configurable filters and optional payload transformations. Read the full guide in Data Webhook Engine.
  • Additional webhook configurations can be scoped to your account. Contact your Benzinga representative to enable specific datasets or to register new webhook URLs.

Integration flow

1

Share your endpoint and filters

Provide a publicly reachable HTTPS endpoint plus any data type or geography filters you need. Benzinga will provision the webhook with those settings.
2

Handle deliveries idempotently

Parse the JSON payload, use the id and X-BZ-Delivery values to avoid duplicates, and respond quickly with a 2xx status to acknowledge receipt.
3

Monitor and iterate

Track failures, timeouts, and retries in your logs. Adjust filters or payload transformations with your Benzinga contact if your downstream systems have new requirements.

Best practices

  • Use HTTPS and authentication on your webhook endpoint.
  • Process work asynchronously so responses return within 30 seconds.
  • Store processed delivery IDs to ensure idempotency across retries.
  • Test against non-production endpoints before switching to live delivery.
