See more webhook information for Github's api

I have successfully set up a webhook for a github repo with the following request body:

body: JSON.stringify({
  name: 'web',
  events: ['issues'],
  active: true,
  config: {
    url: 'http://12345678.ngrok.io',
    content_type: 'json',
  }
})

When an issue is edited on the repo, I get a request to my ngrok server, but I cannot find out further information about the issue event.

The best I can get is in the request.headers I have:

{ host: '12345678.ngrok.io',
accept: '*/*',
'user-agent': 'GitHub-Hookshot/1234567',
'x-github-event': 'issues',
'x-github-delivery': '12341234-12341234-12341234',
'content-type': 'application/json',
'content-length': '7051',
'x-forwarded-for': '192.12.345.67' }

Can I also get than an issue was edited, what issue was edited and what it was edited to and from?

The webhook event will have this in the payload. Here is an example.

There are examples in platform samples that show how to access the payload as JSON.
