How can I create webhook through rest api in NODE js ?

How can I create webhook throush rest api in NODE js ? I found this solution on docs

app.post('URL', (request, response) => {

  response.send({

    "webhook": {

      "topic": "orders/create",

      "address": "https://whatever.com",

      "format": "json"

    }

  });

});

Can anyone please teach me how to implement this on shopify node app and to what URL should I make POST request throush REST api?

You would POST to https://shop_domain.myshopify.com/admin/api/2019-10/webhooks.json, this is clearly outlined in the documentation.

You could do this a number of ways when using Node:

• You could use Node's standard HTTP library: https://nodejs.dev/making-http-requests-with-nodejs
• You could use a third party Shopify library: https://github.com/BKnights/shopify-node-api
• You could use a first party library: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-express

I'm not a JS developer myself, so you probably don't want any specific code examples I would share, but the above should be adequate for finding your own way.

Cheers and good luck.

I'm trying to create a webhook with nodejs, but receiving this error:

getaddrinfo EAI_FAIL https://api_key:pass@url_store
at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:60:26) {
errno: 'EAI_FAIL',
code: 'EAI_FAIL',
syscall: 'getaddrinfo',
hostname: 'https://api_key:pass@url_store'
}

this is my request code

var postData = querystring.stringify(body);

    var options = {

      hostname: url,

      port: 443,

      path: path,

      method: 'POST',

      headers: {

        'Content-Type': 'application/json',

        'Content-Length': postData.length

      }

    };

    var req = https.request(options, (res) => {

      console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode);

      console.log('headers:', res.headers);

      res.on('data', (d) => {

        resolve(d);

      });

    });

    req.on('error', (e) => {

      reject(e);

    });

    req.write(postData);

    req.end();
