Hi graestar888,

Let's see what's there. A good way to debug something is to reproduce the issue. Since you work on local machine and cannot rely on original request you have to reproduce it as correct as possible. Right? 😉 And so what are you using:

Hm..🤔 How do you conclude that this curl command reproduces the webhook in correct manner? Did you record some of the requests and then reproduce it or...??? 🙂 Rhetoric of course. Never suppose but check it (something you have skipped that lead you to wrong direction)!!! 😉 For more info about request body that you may expect, take a look here (again, aside of that you can just record one such request and reproduce it with curl). There are other mistakes too, but I believe once you fix you start point you will see and fix everything else.

Hope this helps.

PS: The way you're using is synchronous processing of request - something that's discouraged since the response has to be fast (otherwise Dropbox will detect it as a fail and may stop further notifications)! Execute the actual processing (your process_webhook) in detached thread (or in similar way).
