capture-http-ingest-create

capture-http-ingest-create is a skill for Claude Code from estuary/agent-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,700 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A webhook receiver that accepts HTTP POST requests and stores incoming data in Estuary. A webhook is an automatic message sent by a service when an event occurs, such as a new GitHub, Shopify, or Stripe event.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up webhook captures for GitHub, Shopify, Stripe, or other JSON-producing services, including token authentication and multiple request paths.
Why use it?
It avoids building a separate service just to receive and pass on JSON event data. The workflow also covers endpoint details, authentication, and duplicate-event handling.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

capture-http-ingest-create scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Create HTTP Ingest (Webhook) Capture

Create an Estuary capture that accepts incoming HTTP requests (webhooks) from external services.

Step 0: Load Connector Documentation

Before proceeding, fetch the official connector docs for config reference and webhook URL details:

Primary: https://docs.estuary.dev/reference/Connectors/capture-connectors/http-ingest/

Use WebFetch to load this page. The docs cover:

  • Configuration reference (auth tokens, paths)
  • Webhook URL format and retrieval
  • Deduplication via idFromHeader
  • Authentication setup

This skill provides the flowctl workflow, service-specific guidance, and troubleshooting that docs don't cover.

Step 1: Gather Requirements

Before writing any YAML, ask the user:

  1. What service(s) are sending webhooks? — GitHub, Shopify, Stripe, Segment, custom, etc.
  2. How many event types/paths? — One webhook endpoint or multiple (e.g., /orders, /customers)
  3. Authentication method? — HTTP Ingest only supports Bearer token auth. If the source requires OAuth callbacks or other auth flows, stop and inform the user this connector won't work for that source.
  4. Non-default data plane? — Most users use the default. Ask if they need a non-default data plane (affects webhook URL domain).

Key Difference from Database Captures

HTTP Ingest works in reverse — external services push TO Estuary, rather than Estuary pulling FROM a source:

  • No firewall changes needed on the user's end
  • Estuary provides the public HTTPS endpoint
  • Authentication is via Bearer token
  • The webhook URL is only visible in the web UI after publishing — it cannot be retrieved via CLI

Step 2: Create the Capture Spec File

captures:
  <tenant>/<path>/source-http-ingest:
    endpoint:
      connector:
        image: ghcr.io/estuary/source-http-ingest:v1
        config:
          require_auth_token: "<secure-random-token>"
          paths:
            - /<path-name>
    bindings: []

Generate a secure token:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

capture-http-ingest-create is a skill published in the GitHub repository estuary/agent-skills (7 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 1,700 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
