 * One of my clients has the following in their security log;
 * Request to REST API denied
    URL: ……../wp-json/wc/v2/webhooks
 * It is coming from the user of the client
 * I am struggling to find the source of the API call. Is this likely to be part
   of WC or a custom call hiding somewhere?

 * Hello there,
 * WooCommerce has a webhook system built into it. It’s a notification system that
   can send information about various events to a URL. It’s a way to allow WooCommerce
   events, like new orders, to be shared with other services.
 * You can read more about them at [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/webhooks/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/webhooks/)
 * Without knowing more about the request, it’s hard to say specifically what is
   happening. Does the site use any external services? Those could very well connect
   via a webhook and would be a good place to start looking for clues.
