The payload is the dosage. Reference: https://docs.benchling.com/in-vivo/webhooks/webhook-animal-dosage-created ## Request ### Headers - `Signature` (string, required) — Lowercase hex-encoded HMAC-SHA256 of the raw request body, keyed with your webhook's signing secret. Compute it over the bytes exactly as received, before parsing, and compare in constant time. ### Payload - `id` (string, required) — Unique identifier for a webhook event. A retried delivery carries the same identifier, so use it to discard duplicates. - `event` (enum, required) — The event that occurred. - Allowed values: `animal.dosage.created`, `animal.dosage.deleted` - `version` (enum, required) — A released version of the public API. Each OAuth client is registered against one version, which determines the response shape it receives. - Allowed values: `2022-12-14` - `created_at` (datetime, required) — UTC timestamp with microsecond precision, always suffixed with `Z`, in the form `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZ`. - `payload` (DosageV2, required) — A single administration of a treatment to an animal. The four quantities record what was actually given, which may differ from the treatment's prescribed amounts — typically because the amount was scaled to the weight recorded in `measurement`. - `client_id` (string, optional) — The OAuth client whose API request caused the event. Omitted when the event did not originate from an API request, and on events that never carry it. ## Types ### DosageV2 A single administration of a treatment to an animal.

A calculation is either a reading taken directly — in which case `formula` is just its own key and `variables` holds the single reading — or a value computed from several readings, in which case `variables` holds one entry per term in `formula`. Which calculations a measurement carries is determined by your team's measurement settings, not by the API. - `id` (string, required, nullable) — The recorded value this calculation came from. Null for a derived calculation that has no stored value of its own. - `key` (string, required, nullable) — The slug identifying the calculation in your team's measurement settings. - `name` (string, required, nullable) — The display name of the calculation. - `unit` (string, required, nullable) — The unit the calculation is expressed in. - `excluded` (boolean, required) — Whether the value has been excluded from analysis. An excluded value is still returned; it is left out of aggregates and charts. - `value` (string, required, nullable) — The calculated value, as a string so that the precision recorded is preserved exactly. - `formula` (string, required, nullable) — The expression the value was computed from, written in terms of the `key` of each variable. A directly recorded reading has its own key as the formula. - `variables` (list of VariableV2, required) — The readings the value was computed from. ### VariableV2 One input to a calculation. A calculation that is a single recorded reading has one variable holding that reading; a derived calculation has one variable per reading its formula combines. - `id` (string, required, nullable) — The reading the value was recorded against. Null when the reading is no longer configured for your team. - `key` (string, required, nullable) — The slug identifying the reading in your team's measurement settings. - `value` (string, required, nullable) — The recorded value, as a string so that the precision recorded is preserved exactly. - `unit` (string, required, nullable) — The unit the value was recorded in.
