List Webhook Secrets
This endpoint returns a set of webhook signing secrets used to validate the webhook.
Usually only one key will be returned in the response. After key rotation, this endpoint will return two keys:
the new key, and the key that will be revoked soon. There will also be two signatures in the 'Webhook-Signature' request header.
Your application should use all keys available to validate the webhook request. If validation passes for any
of the keys returned, the webhook payload is valid.
