webhook verification

[kbyatnal]

Could this library provide a method to verify the webhooks that come from Plaid? There is an example implementation in the docs, but it's almost 100 lines of code.

Given this is something everyone will need, why not just solve this for all developers instead of making everyone write security-related code themselves?

I'd like to mention that Stripe is doing exactly that with their node SDK. Give them the buffer that was sent, get back a verified JSON.

Given that there's no easy way to issue a webhook call when developing the integration I think this can greatly simplify the process for anyone going through the process.

@cgfarmer4 curious if you all would be open to a PR for this?

Still very bizarre to me that this isn't included in the SDK. Anyone have any idea why it wouldn't be?

It is 2024 already, and I am surprised Plaid hasn't done anything on this.
