create_hook Validation Error 422

I have been playing with the parameters for awhile now but I continue to get the same 422 Validation Error. I am using runscope to test if my webhooks work. 

url_path = "https://k1lavjuzlcvj.runscope.net"

repo.create_hook(name="testhook",config={"url":url_path, "content_type":"json"})

This is the stack output that I receive from this call 

09-29 13:35 github3      DEBUG    POST https://github.umn.edu/api/v3/repos/umn-csci-2041F14/testbalas/hooks with {"name": "testhook", "active": true, "config": {"content_type": "json", "url": "https://k1lavjuzlcvj.runscope.net"}, "events": ["push"]}, {}

    if self._boolean(response, status_code, 404) and response.content:
  File "/Users/nate/Git-Projects/administration/dependencies/github3.py/github3/models.py", line 121, in _boolean
    raise GitHubError(response)
github3.models.GitHubError: 422 Validation Failed

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I just had a chance to test this. If you inspect the response you receive from GitHub you'll see the following:

>>> e.response.json()
{u'documentation_url': u'https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/#create-a-hook', u'message': u'Validation Failed', u'errors': [{u'field': u'name', u'code': u'invalid', u'resource': u'Hook', u'value': u'requestbin'}]}

If you then look back to the documentation more closely, you'll see the name of the example hook is "web". When I change the name of my hook to "web", the hook creation works.

To be clear, to fix this change your create_hook call to:

repo.create_hook(name="web",config={"url":url_path, "content_type":"json"})
