Webhooks are a powerful way to regularly deliver your data to your servers or third-party services like S3, Dropbox, or Google sheets through products like Zapier. Webhooks deliver data to a HTTPS URI with your data and some meta-information as JSON. Looker requires your server or service of choice to present a valid HTTPS certificate before sending data. Here we document what the Webhook payload looks like. Before reading this document, you may want to confer with Scheduling Looks and Dashboards Using Webhooks (3.46+) for information about how to setup webhook delivery from Looker. Formats Looker supports various formats for representing the data in your Look or Dashboard. When scheduling a Look to send its data via Webhook, we support sending data in the following formats: CSV TXT JSON (“inline” and as a JSON string) HTML Excel When scheduling a Dashboard to send its data via webhook, support sending data as a PDF. We will likely add more formats for both Looks and dashboards soon
