I have a webhook setup through the Box CLI that POSTs to a external API when a file is uploaded.    The requestBody looks to be encrypted.   I can't find any information about how this is encrypted and how to de-crypt it,

 

Here is a partial example

 

  "resourcePath" : "/services/apexrest/BoxREST/*",

  "requestURI" : "/BoxREST",

  "requestBody" : "eyJ0eXBlIjoid2ViaG9va19ldmVudCIsI.....

  Hey , I'm not certain why you would see this behavior.  I happened to be doing some basic testing with our webhooks earlier this week but my notification body was not encrypted.  If you are using one of our SDKs, you might need to go through validating the webhook message.  Here is an example of this in our Node SDK:

  https://github.com/box/box-node-sdk/blob/72acfa8125941dcf2b6c402a671792f74af07637/docs/webhooks.md#validate-a-webhook-message

   

  Is your application using one of our SDKs?

  Yeah I apparently just needed to convert correctly to see the the response
  body. Not sure why the rest of the response was readable but teh internal
  body was encoded differently I guess. Anyways I can see it now.
