+#### LLM Extraction Jobs with Webhooks
+
+The same webhook system works for LLM extraction jobs via `/llm/job`:
+
+```bash
+# Submit LLM extraction job with webhook
+curl -X POST http://localhost:11235/llm/job \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "url": "https://example.com/article",
+    "q": "Extract the article title, author, and main points",
+    "provider": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
+    "webhook_config": {
+      "webhook_url": "https://myapp.com/webhooks/llm-complete",
+      "webhook_data_in_payload": true,
+      "webhook_headers": {
+        "X-Webhook-Secret": "your-secret-token"
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+
+# Response: {"task_id": "llm_1234567890"}
+```
+
+**Your webhook receives:**
+```json
+{
+  "task_id": "llm_1234567890",
+  "task_type": "llm_extraction",
+  "status": "completed",
+  "timestamp": "2025-10-22T12:30:00.000000+00:00",
+  "urls": ["https://example.com/article"],
+  "data": {
+    "extracted_content": {
+      "title": "Understanding Web Scraping",
+      "author": "John Doe",
+      "main_points": ["Point 1", "Point 2", "Point 3"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Differences for LLM Jobs:**
+- Task type is `"llm_extraction"` instead of `"crawl"`
+- Extracted data is in `data.extracted_content`
+- Single URL only (not an array)
+- Supports schema-based extraction with `schema` parameter
+
 > 💡 **Pro tip**: See [WEBHOOK_EXAMPLES.md](./WEBHOOK_EXAMPLES.md) for detailed examples including TypeScript client code, Flask webhook handlers, and failure handling.

+🚀 Crawl4AI Docker Hooks System - Complete Examples
+====================================================
+
+This file demonstrates the Docker Hooks System with three different approaches:
+
+1. String-based hooks for REST API
+2. hooks_to_string() utility to convert functions
+3. Docker Client with automatic conversion (most convenient)
+
+Requirements:
+- Docker container running: docker run -p 11235:11235 unclecode/crawl4ai:latest
+- crawl4ai installed: pip install crawl4ai

+## Job Queue & Webhook API
+
+The Docker deployment includes a powerful asynchronous job queue system with webhook support for both crawling and LLM extraction tasks. Instead of waiting for long-running operations to complete, submit jobs and receive real-time notifications via webhooks when they finish.
+
+### Why Use the Job Queue API?
+
+**Traditional Synchronous API (`/crawl`):**
+- Client waits for entire crawl to complete
+- Timeout issues with long-running crawls
+- Resource blocking during execution
+- Constant polling required for status updates
+
+**Asynchronous Job Queue API (`/crawl/job`, `/llm/job`):**
+- ✅ Submit job and continue immediately
+- ✅ No timeout concerns for long operations
+- ✅ Real-time webhook notifications on completion
+- ✅ Better resource utilization
+- ✅ Perfect for batch processing
+- ✅ Ideal for microservice architectures
+
+### Available Endpoints
+
+#### 1. Crawl Job Endpoint
+
+```
+POST /crawl/job

+
+### Webhook Configuration
+
+Webhooks provide real-time notifications when your jobs complete, eliminating the need for constant polling.
+
+#### Webhook Config Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `webhook_url` | string | Yes | Your HTTP(S) endpoint to receive notifications |
+| `webhook_data_in_payload` | boolean | No | Include full result data in webhook payload (default: false) |
+| `webhook_headers` | object | No | Custom headers for authentication/identification |
+
+#### Webhook Payload Format

+
+### Usage Examples
+
+#### Example 1: Python with Webhook Handler (Flask)
+
+```python
+from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
+import requests
+
+app = Flask(__name__)
+
+# Webhook handler
+@app.route('/webhook/crawl-complete', methods=['POST'])
+def handle_crawl_webhook():
+    payload = request.json
+
+    if payload['status'] == 'completed':
+        print(f"✅ Job {payload['task_id']} completed!")
+        print(f"Task type: {payload['task_type']}")
+
+        # Access the crawl results
+        if 'data' in payload:
+            markdown = payload['data'].get('markdown', '')
+            extracted = payload['data'].get('extracted_content', {})
+            print(f"Extracted {len(markdown)} characters")
+            print(f"Structured data: {extracted}")
+    else:
+        print(f"❌ Job {payload['task_id']} failed: {payload.get('error')}")
+
+    return jsonify({"status": "received"}), 200
+
+# Submit a crawl job with webhook
+def submit_crawl_job():
+    response = requests.post(
+        "http://localhost:11235/crawl/job",
+        json={
+            "urls": ["https://example.com"],
+            "extraction_strategy": {
+                "type": "JsonCssExtractionStrategy",
+                "schema": {
+                    "name": "Example Schema",
+                    "baseSelector": "body",
+                    "fields": [
+                        {"name": "title", "selector": "h1", "type": "text"},
+                        {"name": "description", "selector": "meta[name='description']", "type": "attribute", "attribute": "content"}
+                    ]
+                }
+            },
+            "webhook_config": {
+                "webhook_url": "https://your-app.com/webhook/crawl-complete",
+                "webhook_data_in_payload": True,
+                "webhook_headers": {
+                    "X-Webhook-Secret": "your-secret-token"
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    )
+
+    task_id = response.json()['task_id']
+    print(f"Job submitted: {task_id}")
+    return task_id
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    app.run(port=5000)
+```
+
+#### Example 2: LLM Extraction with Webhooks
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+def submit_llm_job_with_webhook():
+    response = requests.post(
+        "http://localhost:11235/llm/job",
+        json={
+            "url": "https://example.com/article",
+            "q": "Extract the article title, author, and main points",
+            "provider": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
+            "webhook_config": {
+                "webhook_url": "https://your-app.com/webhook/llm-complete",
+                "webhook_data_in_payload": True,
+                "webhook_headers": {
+                    "X-Webhook-Secret": "your-secret-token"
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    )
+
+    task_id = response.json()['task_id']
+    print(f"LLM job submitted: {task_id}")
+    return task_id
+
+# Webhook handler for LLM jobs
+@app.route('/webhook/llm-complete', methods=['POST'])
+def handle_llm_webhook():
+    payload = request.json
+
+    if payload['status'] == 'completed':
+        extracted = payload['data']['extracted_content']
+        print(f"✅ LLM extraction completed!")
+        print(f"Results: {extracted}")
+    else:
+        print(f"❌ LLM extraction failed: {payload.get('error')}")
+
+    return jsonify({"status": "received"}), 200
+```
+
+#### Example 3: Without Webhooks (Polling)
+
+If you don't use webhooks, you can poll for results:
+
+```python
+import requests
+import time
+
+# Submit job
+response = requests.post(
+    "http://localhost:11235/crawl/job",
+    json={"urls": ["https://example.com"]}
+)
+task_id = response.json()['task_id']
+
+# Poll for results
+while True:
+    result = requests.get(f"http://localhost:11235/job/{task_id}")
+    data = result.json()
+
+    if data['status'] == 'completed':
+        print("Job completed!")
+        print(data['result'])
+        break
+    elif data['status'] == 'failed':
+        print(f"Job failed: {data.get('error')}")
+        break
+
+    print("Still processing...")
+    time.sleep(2)
+```
+
+#### Example 4: Global Webhook Configuration
+
+Set a default webhook URL in your `config.yml` to avoid repeating it in every request:
+
+```yaml
+# config.yml
+api:
+  crawler:
+    # ... other settings ...
+    webhook:
+      default_url: "https://your-app.com/webhook/default"
+      default_headers:
+        X-Webhook-Secret: "your-secret-token"
+```
+
+Then submit jobs without webhook config:
+
+```python
+# Uses the global webhook configuration
+response = requests.post(
+    "http://localhost:11235/crawl/job",
+    json={"urls": ["https://example.com"]}
+)
+```
+
+### Webhook Best Practices
+
+1. **Authentication:** Always use custom headers for webhook authentication
+   ```json
+   "webhook_headers": {
+     "X-Webhook-Secret": "your-secret-token"
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Idempotency:** Design your webhook handler to be idempotent (safe to receive duplicate notifications)
+
+3. **Fast Response:** Return HTTP 200 quickly; process data asynchronously if needed
+   ```python
+   @app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
+   def webhook():
+       payload = request.json
+       # Queue for background processing
+       queue.enqueue(process_webhook, payload)
+       return jsonify({"status": "received"}), 200
+   ```
+
+4. **Error Handling:** Handle both success and failure notifications
+   ```python
+   if payload['status'] == 'completed':
+       # Process success
+   elif payload['status'] == 'failed':
+       # Log error, retry, or alert
+   ```
+
+5. **Validation:** Verify webhook authenticity using custom headers
+   ```python
+   secret = request.headers.get('X-Webhook-Secret')
+   if secret != os.environ['EXPECTED_SECRET']:
+       return jsonify({"error": "Unauthorized"}), 401
+   ```
+
+6. **Logging:** Log webhook deliveries for debugging
+   ```python
+   logger.info(f"Webhook received: {payload['task_id']} - {payload['status']}")
+   ```
+
+### Use Cases
+
+**1. Batch Processing**
+Submit hundreds of URLs and get notified as each completes:
+```python
+urls = ["https://site1.com", "https://site2.com", ...]
+for url in urls:
+    submit_crawl_job(url, webhook_url="https://app.com/webhook")
+```
+
+**2. Microservice Integration**
+Integrate with event-driven architectures:
+```python
+# Service A submits job
+task_id = submit_crawl_job(url)
+
+# Service B receives webhook and triggers next step
+@app.route('/webhook')
+def webhook():
+    process_result(request.json)
+    trigger_next_service()
+    return "OK", 200
+```
+
+**3. Long-Running Extractions**
+Handle complex LLM extractions without timeouts:
+```python
+submit_llm_job(
+    url="https://long-article.com",
+    q="Comprehensive summary with key points and analysis",
+    webhook_url="https://app.com/webhook/llm"
+)
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Webhook not receiving notifications?**
+- Check your webhook URL is publicly accessible
+- Verify firewall/security group settings
+- Use webhook testing tools like webhook.site for debugging
+- Check server logs for delivery attempts
+- Ensure your handler returns 200-299 status code
+
+**Job stuck in processing?**
+- Check Redis connection: `docker logs <container_name> | grep redis`
+- Verify worker processes: `docker exec <container_name> ps aux | grep worker`
+- Check server logs: `docker logs <container_name>`
+
+**Need to cancel a job?**
+Jobs are processed asynchronously. If you need to cancel:
+- Delete the task from Redis (requires Redis CLI access)
+- Or implement a cancellation endpoint in your webhook handler

+Test script to verify pyOpenSSL update doesn't break crawl4ai functionality.
+
+This test verifies:
+1. pyOpenSSL and cryptography versions are correct and secure
+2. Basic crawling functionality still works
+3. HTTPS/SSL connections work properly
+4. Stealth mode integration works (uses playwright-stealth internally)
+
+Issue: #1545 - Security vulnerability in cryptography package
+Fix: Updated pyOpenSSL from >=24.3.0 to >=25.3.0
+Expected: cryptography package should be >=45.0.7 (above vulnerable range)
