convex-http-actions

Build HTTP endpoints for external API integration in Convex by defining HTTP routes within Convex actions. This process handles request parsing, applies authentication checks, and configures CORS headers to securely route external requests to your application backend.

Verify webhook signatures from Stripe or GitHub in Convex using dedicated HTTP action handlers. These handlers process incoming webhook payloads and validate external signatures to ensure that API integration requests originate from authenticated sources.

The best way to configure CORS for HTTP actions in a Convex application is to implement CORS headers directly within your Convex action handlers. This controls cross-origin access and secures API endpoints during external client routing.

Yes, you can apply client authentication checks to webhook routes in Convex. The implementation handles authentication alongside request parsing and signature verification, ensuring only authorized clients access your secure API endpoints.

No, request parsing is handled automatically when exposing endpoints via Convex HTTP actions. The system implements HTTP routing and parses incoming requests internally, allowing you to focus on authentication, CORS headers, and webhook signature validation.
