Alchemy Webhooks provide real-time notifications for primarily on-chain data. They're often used to stream on-chain activity for a set of wallets, events and traces on a set of smart contracts, and all block data for a particular chain, but are customizable to your many different use cases! Here are a few quick-links and an introduction video:

Alchemy Webhooks let you receive real-time HTTP POST requests for on-chain events across 80+ chains — no polling required! They’re often used to stream:

|[Custom](/reference/custom-webhook)| Custom Webhooks allows you to track any smart contract or marketplace activity, monitor any contract creation, or any other on-chain interaction. This gives you infinite data access with precise filter controls to get the blockchain data you need. |

-
|[Address Activity](/reference/address-activity-webhook)| Alchemy's Address Activity webhook tracks all ETH, ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155 transfers. This provides your app with real-time state changes when an address sends/receives tokens or ETH. Specify the addresses for which you want to track this activity via API as well. A maximum of 100,000 addresses can be added to a single webhook. |

|[NFT Activity](/reference/nft-activity-webhook)| The NFT Activity webhook allows you to track ERC721 and ERC1155 token contracts for NFTs. This provides your app with real-time state changes when an NFT is transferred between addresses. |

|[NFT Meta Updates](/reference/nft-metadata-updates-webhook)| The NFT Metadata Updates webhook allows you to track metadata updates for ERC721 and ERC1155 token contracts for Ethereum and Polygon NFTs. This notifies your app when the metadata for an NFT is updated. |

Setting up a webhook is as simple as adding a new URL to your application.

If you need to add over 10 addresses to the address activity webhook, we recommend adding them through an API call.

## Set-up webhooks in your dashboard
66
+
To start building with webhooks:
98
67
99
-
1. Navigate to the Webhooks tab in your [Alchemy Dashboard](https://dashboard.alchemyapi.io/notify).
100
-
2. Determine which [type of webhook](/reference/notify-api-quickstart#types-of-webhooks) you want to activate.
101
-
3. Click the **Create Webhook** button.
102
-
4. Select the app to add the webhook notifications.
103
-
5. Add in your unique webhook URL. This is the link to receive requests (**Please note that localhost domains are not allowed as webhook URLs**). The webhook payload might not always be compatible for 3rd party integrations.
104
-
6. Test your webhook by clicking the **Test Webhook** button.
105
-
7. Click **Create Webhook** and your webhook appears in the list.
106
-
8. Check your endpoint to see responses.
68
+
1. Select the right webhook type
69
+
2. Create a webhook listener
70
+
3. Create and test your webhook

## Set-up webhooks programmatically

## Select the right webhook type
109
73
110
-
Use the `create-webhook` endpoint: [https://docs.alchemy.com/reference/create-webhook](/reference/create-webhook).
74
+
* If you’re interested in tracking transfers on a set of wallets, (\< 100K wallets), get started with our [Address Activity webhooks](/reference/address-activity-webhook)!
75
+
* If you’re interested in tracking transfers of a particular NFT, an NFT collection, or all NFTs for a chain, use the [NFT Activity webhooks](/reference/nft-activity-webhook)!
76
+
* For all other use cases, we recommend leveraging our [Custom webhooks](/reference/custom-webhook)!

## Webhook IP addresses
113
-
114
-
As an added security measure, you can ensure your webhook notification originates from Alchemy by using one of the following IP addresses:
115
-
116
-
*`54.236.136.17`
117
-
*`34.237.24.169`

The listener responds to the Alchemy server with a `200` status code once you've successfully received the webhook event. Your webhook listener can be a simple server or Slack integration to receive the webhook listener data.
