Body

Is there any way to have the github rest webhook apis

• take in the guid as a query param (/~https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/58863)
• have the webhook headers expose the delivery_id

The webhook headers currently expose only the guid, but the github rest api requires the delivery_id

delivered headers:

"headers": {
"Accept": "/",
"User-Agent": "redacted",
"X-GitHub-Delivery": "<guid>",
"X-GitHub-Event": "redacted,
"X-GitHub-Hook-ID": "xxxx",
"X-GitHub-Hook-Installation-Target-ID": "xxxx",
"X-GitHub-Hook-Installation-Target-Type": "redacted",
"X-Hub-Signature": "redacted,
"X-Hub-Signature-256": "redacted",
"content-type": "application/json"
}

curl -L
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json"
-H "Authorization: Bearer "
-H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28"
https://api.github.com/app/hook/deliveries/<delivery_id>

?

The suggested approach here seems to be to iterate through all webhook deliveries for a match, and then to retry, but if we delivery 1000s of webhooks, this gets pretty unruly
