Create HTTP endpoints in Convex using the httpRouter to define routes for handling GET and POST requests. This enables your application to securely receive webhooks and parse JSON or form data payloads from external services.

Yes, you can configure CORS for HTTP routes in a Convex application. The Skill implements HTTP route definitions that support CORS configuration, allowing secure cross-origin requests to your exposed RESTful endpoints.

Webhook signature verification in Convex HTTP actions validates incoming requests by checking cryptographic signatures. This ensures that webhook payloads received on your HTTP endpoints are authentic and securely integrated from external APIs.

The best way to build an API gateway in Convex is using the httpRouter to expose HTTP endpoints. This approach handles request parsing, implements authentication checks, and securely integrates external services without leaving the Convex environment.

Yes, Convex supports parsing raw bytes and form data in HTTP endpoints. The HTTP action endpoints can handle JSON, form data, and raw bytes, providing flexible request parsing for various webhook and API integration scenarios.

You need HTTP actions when integrating external services that require RESTful endpoints, webhook reception, or API gateway functionality. Standard Convex queries handle internal data operations, while HTTP actions expose secure external routes for incoming requests.
