SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables Convex applications to securely expose HTTP endpoints and efficiently handle webhooks from external services, reducing boilerplate and fragmentation in integrations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • HTTP routing: Define endpoints, handle requests, and respond with proper content types.
  • Webhook handling & verification: Accept events from external services and verify signatures before processing.
  • Authentication & security: Support API keys and Bearer tokens to protect endpoints, plus CORS configuration for browser apps.
  • Real-world scenarios: Connect Stripe for payments, GitHub for events, Clerk, Svix, or other SaaS webhooks, and build custom REST APIs on Convex.

Quick Start

Define your first HTTP endpoint using httpRouter and httpAction to respond to a test request.
