Callback URL

Hi,

I'm building an application which connects with an external API (WebAdmit). One of these API function requests a callback URL to send a notification once the requested process is completed.

What is the safer way to build a URL to receive a notification from an external system?

Here is API documentation for this specific function:

Thanks,

Callback is just any url you can give for example link to any page or you can create a new page (.html). It is required since the process will run in the background and would like know where to send the response correctly

Thanks Abdul,
My concern is about security. What is the best way to implement a callback URL which could be accessed by anonymous?
Some process must be running once the URL receives a request such as a download the CSV, create/update Contact records, etc.

Just used this callback URL for the reponse. It could be any simple HTML page like http://...../response.html etc. even if anonymous user try to access that page it receives a blank page. The other thing you can do that make that page internal, mean can only be access if you in the company network.or on a VPN. 

I am not sure if I am able to address your issue or not but I don't think you need to realy be worry about that.
