Pydantic models for GitLab Webhooks

PyPI - Version PyPI - Python Version GitHub Release Test suite status

Module containing Pydantic models for validating bodies from GitLab webhook requests.

Documentation

The project documentation including an API reference can be found at https://rjw57.github.io/pydantic-gitlab-webhooks/.

Usage example

Intended usage is via a single validate_event_header_and_body function which will validate an incoming webhook's X-Gitlab-Event header and the body after being parsed into a Python dict.

from pydantic import ValidationError
from pydantic_gitlab_webhooks import (
    validate_event_body_dict,
    validate_event_header_and_body_dict,
)

event_body = {
    "object_kind": "access_token",
    "group": {
        "group_name": "Twitter",
        "group_path": "twitter",
        "group_id": 35,
        "full_path": "twitter"
    },
    "object_attributes": {
        "user_id": 90,
        "created_at": "2024-01-24 16:27:40 UTC",
        "id": 25,
        "name": "acd",
        "expires_at": "2024-01-26"
    },
    "event_name": "expiring_access_token"
}

# Use the value of the "X-Gitlab-Event" header and event body to validate
# the incoming event.
parsed_event = validate_event_header_and_body_dict(
    "Resource Access Token Hook",
    event_body
)
assert parsed_event.group.full_path == "twitter"

# Invalid event bodies or hook headers raise Pydantic validation errors
try:
    validate_event_header_and_body_dict("invalid hook", event_body)
except ValidationError:
    pass  # ok - expected error raised
else:
    assert False, "ValidationError was not raised"

# Event bodies can be parsed without the header hook if necessary although using
# the hook header is more efficient.
parsed_event = validate_event_body_dict(event_body)
assert parsed_event.group.full_path == "twitter"

# Event models may be imported individually. For example:
from pydantic_gitlab_webhooks.events import GroupAccessTokenEvent

parsed_event = GroupAccessTokenEvent.model_validate(event_body)
