Research direction

Start by locating the OpenAPI configuration and event schemas used by Stainless, then check how the Python SDK exposes configured webhook methods. Confirm the Standard Webhooks integration can generate client.webhooks.unwrap with signature verification and typed event payloads, and add the Python-side tests or examples mentioned in the issue to demonstrate the generated helper.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The Python SDK can create and manage webhooks, but it does not currently verify or parse incoming deliveries. Users need to install and call standardwebhooks directly.

Since Browserbase already follows the Standard Webhooks format, could the SDK generate an unwrap helper?

event = client.webhooks.unwrap(
    body,
    headers,
)

Stainless supports this through a top-level OpenAPI webhooks section and a webhook_unwrap method in the SDK configuration. That could provide signature verification and typed event payloads without adding handwritten verification code to this repository.

I’d be glad to help with any Python-side tests, examples, or follow-up changes once the event schemas and generator configuration are in place.
