Secure Convex HTTP endpoints are built using HTTP actions that handle request parsing, signature validation, and internal mutation orchestration. This approach verifies incoming webhook events from services like Stripe or GitHub before updating database state.

Webhook signature validation in Convex HTTP actions verifies incoming request payloads against a secret signature before processing. This mechanism prevents unauthorized requests from triggering internal queries or mutating database state.

Yes, Convex API routes support CORS header configuration and authentication within HTTP actions. You can shape responses and validate credentials for GET, POST, and OPTIONS requests across JSON and raw-body payloads.

Processing raw-body requests and file downloads in Convex relies on HTTP actions designed for payload parsing and response shaping. This method handles form-data and custom route logic without exposing internal backend operations.

Convex supports path-prefix routing for external API integration through custom HTTP actions. This allows you to define specific GET and POST endpoints that parse JSON requests and orchestrate internal queries securely.

Convex HTTP actions leak internal logic when error handling patterns are not properly configured. Production-ready implementations require structured response shaping and secure error boundaries to prevent exposing internal query and mutation details.
