Async REST responses

Instead of waiting for your deployment's response you can have Modelbit call a webhook when the inference completes. This is useful when the service calling Modelbit's REST API cannot synchronously wait for the response due to network or architecture limitations.

Supply the response_webhook parameter along with your data to use this functionality. The REST API will respond immediately with the batchId of your inference request and, once the inference completes, it will post the results to the webhook URL you supplied.

For example:

curl -s -XPOST "https://<your-workspace-url>/v1/my_deployment/latest" -d '{"data": ..., "response_webhook": "https://..."}'

The body posted to the webhook is in the same format as when the REST API is called synchronously. The header x-mb-batch-id contains the batchId of the request.

You can also use query string parameters in your webhook URL to later identify your request when processing the result in your webhook handler.
