Steps
With a registered Business API client, create a webhook via the webhooks endpoints documented at developer-business.airthings.com/docs/webhooks-getting-started, specifying a target URL and event types.
Respond to Airthings' verification challenge sent to your endpoint to activate the subscription.
Subscribe to sample-data or threshold-crossing event types (see /docs/webhooks-event-types) so radon/CO2 spikes push a notification instead of requiring polling.
Validate incoming payloads (device id, sensor type, value, unit, timestamp) before acting on them.
Return a 2xx response quickly to avoid Airthings retrying or backing off delivery; consult /docs/webhooks-faq for retry behavior.
Known gotchas
Webhooks are additive to the REST API, not a replacement — you still need the REST API to register/list devices and locations first.
Requires the same active Business subscription as the core REST API; not available on the Consumer tier.
