require __DIR__ . '/../bootstrap.php';

Create a new instance of Webhook object

$webhook = new \PayPal\Api\Webhook();

# Basic Information

    {
        "url":"https://requestb.in/10ujt3c1",
        "event_types":[
           {
               "name":"PAYMENT.AUTHORIZATION.CREATED"
           },
           {
               "name":"PAYMENT.AUTHORIZATION.VOIDED"
           }

any warnings your browser might show you. Also, please note that this is entirely for demo purposes, and you should not be using this in production

$webhook->setUrl("https://requestb.in/10ujt3c1?uniqid=" . uniqid());
