Dropbox Webhooks contains no post data

I'm trying to track my users' file changes with Dropbox's Webhooks interface. I expected the call to include POST data, but there doesn't seem to be POST data (or GET data, for that matter). Here is my PHP code, where the if part is for Dropbox to validate the webhook, and the else part saves the $_POST and $_GET variables to a file.

<?php
if( isset( $_GET['challenge'] ) ) {
    echo $_GET['challenge'];
} else {
    $output = print_r($_POST, true);
    file_put_contents('file.txt', $output, FILE_APPEND );
    $output = print_r($_GET, true);
    file_put_contents('file.txt', $output, FILE_APPEND );
}
?>

After a short while, file.txt fills up with this:

Array

Following this answer to a related question, you need to get the JSON data like this:

$output = file_get_contents('php://input');

Or, since it's JSON:

$output = json_decode( file_get_contents('php://input') );
