Hi, im trying to use webhooks for notify when stream is on live, i have a server with nodejs hosted on heroku, I have the correct initial configuration with callback url, but in this url i dont recive anything

async function subscribe() {  
const headers = {  
‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,  
‘Client-ID’: ‘clientID’,  
Authorization: ‘Bearer auth’,  
};

```
try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/hub', {
        method: 'post',
        body: JSON.stringify({
            'hub.mode': 'subscribe',
            'hub.callback': 'https://example.com/twitch/live',
            'hub.topic': `https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=488606177`,
            'hub.lease_seconds': '864000',
            'hub.secret': 'secret',
        }),
        headers: headers,
    });
    console.log(response);
} catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
}

```

}

subscribe();

in the response i have status 202  
url: ‘[https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/hub](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/hub)’,  
status: 202,  
statusText: ‘Accepted’

I have been reading about this, and when twitch response 202, webhooks is created, in my callback route i have this

```
router.get('/twitch/live', (req, res) => {
    console.log(req.query);
    console.log(req.query['hub.challenge'])
    res.send(req.query['hub.callback']).status(200);
});

```

i recive req.query[‘hub.callback’], so get so its means GET peticion of twitch is correct.

but where i recive data of the streamer? i try using a POST route but i dont have any here. please help me ☹

router.post(’/twitch/live’, (req, res) =\> {  
console.log(req.body);  
res.send(req.body).status(200);  
});

This is wrong

` res.send(req.query['hub.callback']).status(200);`

should be

` res.send(req.query['hub.challenge']).status(200);`

You have a callback instead of a challenge
