​
Overview

Slowhooks let you post directly to Discord channels using webhooks — perfect for sending updates, notifications, or even little daily logs from your SlowNet. You can use the same endpoint to send new messages (POST) or edit existing messages (PATCH).

​
Sending a new message

Use a POST request with your Discord webhook URL and the message payload.

​
Example payload

{
  "webhookUrl": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123/abc",
  "payload": {
    "content": "Hello from SlowNet!",
    "embeds": [
      {
        "title": "My Embed",
        "description": "This is an embed sent from SlowNet."
      }
    ]
  }
}

​
Example cURL

curl -X POST   'https://theslow.net/api/slowhooks/send-discord-webhook'   -H 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY'   -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{
    "webhookUrl": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123/abc",
    "payload": {
      "content": "Hello from SlowNet!"
    }
  }'

​
Editing an existing message

Use a PATCH request with the same webhookUrl plus the messageId of the message you want to edit.

​
Example payload

{
  "webhookUrl": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123/abc",
  "messageId": "987654321",
  "payload": {
    "content": "Updated message from SlowNet."
  }
}

​
Example cURL

curl -X PATCH   'https://theslow.net/api/slowhooks/send-discord-webhook'   -H 'X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY'   -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{
    "webhookUrl": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123/abc",
    "messageId": "987654321",
    "payload": {
      "content": "Updated message from SlowNet."
    }
  }'

​
Authentication

This endpoint requires an API key. You can retrieve an API key from your dashboard. Include it in the X-API-KEY header: 
X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
For more details, see the Authentication Guide.
