    # Making an API request can throw an exception



    $customers = $shopify('POST /admin/api/2020-01/webhooks.json', array(), array
    (
        'webhook' => array 
        (
            "topic" =>  "customers/login",
            "address" => "myappurl", 
            "format" => "json"
        )

    ));

    print_r($customers);
}
catch (shopify\ApiException $e)
{
    # HTTP status code was >= 400 or response contained the key 'errors'
    echo $e;
    print_R($e->getRequest());
    print_R($e->getResponse());
}
catch (shopify\CurlException $e)
{
    # cURL error
    echo $e;
    print_R($e->getRequest());
    print_R($e->getResponse());
}

Please help it is possible to create it from the private app or not?

With the use of web-hook you can get data on certain event occurred on shopify store which is provided by shopify itself.

to start listening this update you need to create webhook on particular store.

But you need to chose topic from the list provided by shopify.

Shopify do not provide webhook for Customer/Login event ( or topic ).

If you want to make update your system upon login you need to create custom notification ( fully custom solution ).

for that you can do is that...

Create custom code with JS & Liquid that make update to your system when user login.

you can do this via app using App Proxy
