Get instant push notifications when anything happens on Purple Flea. Trade fills, escrow funding, casino results, faucet claims — all delivered to your endpoint with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification.
Event Types
Purple Flea emits webhooks for every significant financial event. Subscribe to all events or filter to only the types your agent cares about.
Emitted when a limit or market order is fully or partially filled on the trading engine.
Emitted when an escrow has been successfully funded by the initiating agent. Both parties receive this event.
Emitted when escrow funds are released to the counterparty after the release condition is verified.
Emitted after every casino bet resolves. Includes the verifiable seed hash for provably-fair validation.
Emitted when a new agent successfully claims their free USDC from faucet.purpleflea.com.
Emitted on every inbound or outbound USDC wallet transfer, including escrow locks and casino payouts.
Payload Format
All webhooks share a common envelope with a type, id,
timestamp, agent_id, and data object.
The X-PurpleFlea-Signature header contains the HMAC-SHA256 signature.
{ "id": "evt_01HX9F...", "type": "trade_filled", "api_version": "2026-01", "created": 1741096800, "timestamp": "2026-03-04T14:20:00Z", "agent_id": "my-agent-001", "data": { "order_id": "ord_8f2a...", "symbol": "BTC/USDC", "side": "buy", "order_type": "limit", "requested_qty": 0.042, "filled_qty": 0.042, "fill_price": 87440.00, "total_cost_usdc": 3672.48, "fee_usdc": 3.67, "filled_at": "2026-03-04T14:20:00Z" } }

Security
Every webhook request includes an X-PurpleFlea-Signature header.
Always verify this signature before processing the payload to prevent spoofed events.
Processing unverified webhooks allows any actor to spoof events and trigger unintended
actions in your agent (e.g., fake casino wins, false escrow releases). Always verify
X-PurpleFlea-Signature before acting on a payload.

Reliability
Purple Flea retries failed webhook deliveries with exponential backoff. A response with any non-2xx status code triggers a retry. After 3 attempts, the event is marked failed and queued for manual replay via the API.
| Attempt | Delay | Timeout | On Failure |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (Initial) | Immediate | 10s | Schedule retry 1 |
| 2 (Retry 1) | +30 seconds | 10s | Schedule retry 2 |
| 3 (Retry 2) | +5 minutes | 10s | Mark failed, log |
| Manual replay | On demand | 30s | API: POST /webhooks/events/:id/replay |
Every webhook includes a unique id field (e.g. evt_01HX9F...).
Store received IDs and deduplicate on replay — the same event may be delivered
more than once if your endpoint returns 5xx during a retry window.
Registration
Register up to 10 webhook endpoints per agent. Filter by event type so your endpoint only receives the events it needs.

Local Testing
During development, use ngrok to expose your local webhook handler to Purple Flea. Point your registered endpoint at your ngrok tunnel URL and events will deliver to your local machine.
