FAQPage Schema

How do I create HTTP endpoints in Convex for external API integrations?▼

You build HTTP endpoints in Convex by defining routes via the convex/server module and handling requests with httpAction, which supports request parsing, path parameters, and flexible response generation for external integrations.

How do I handle webhooks from services like Stripe in a Convex application?▼

Handling webhooks in Convex involves defining HTTP routes that securely parse incoming request bodies and URL parameters, triggering internal mutations or queries based on external service events like Stripe or GitHub.

Can I configure CORS and authentication for Convex HTTP routes?▼

Yes, you can configure CORS and enforce authentication for Convex HTTP routes to secure webhook handlers and API integrations, ensuring safe request processing and flexible response generation across external services.

Does Convex support file uploads and path parameters in HTTP actions?▼

Yes, Convex HTTP actions support file uploads, request body parsing, and URL path parameters, enabling robust API integrations and webhook processing alongside comprehensive error handling and response generation.

What is the best way to structure error handling for HTTP endpoints in Convex?▼

Structured error handling in Convex HTTP endpoints is managed within the httpAction handler, ensuring webhook routes and API integrations return appropriate error responses when request parsing, authentication, or file upload processing fails.
