The payload matches what the response is under helix API which is `data:[]` as per the webhooks specification.

But, there are a couple of options, you can parse one of the headers:

> [@Stream down \[WEBHOOK\]](https://discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/stream-down-webhook/15297/2):
>
> If you look in the headers of the request you can parse the “link” header: Something like (from my log) "link":"\<https://api.twitch.tv/helix/webhooks/hub\>; rel=\"hub\", \<https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?to\_id=TWITCHOD\>; rel=\"self\" So you can parse that out. Personally I’m using NodeJS and Express Param routing.

Or more usefully, is to setup, so that your callback URL is:

> [https://mydomain.com/twitchwebhooks/$webhooktype/$userid](https://mydomain.com/twitchwebhooks/$webhooktype/$userid)

For the hook

> [https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user\_id=5678](https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?user_id=5678)

Which would result in you setting your Callback URL to

> [https://mydomain.com/twitchwebhooks/streams/5678](https://mydomain.com/twitchwebhooks/streams/5678)

Then just parse the URL for the parameters you need. Which is child’s play under nodeJS Express.

```auto
request.route('/twitchwebhooks/:hook/:id', function(req, resp) {
    switch (req.params.hook) {
        case 'streams':
            // snip

```
