Secure Convex HTTP endpoints handle external API requests by defining GET, POST, and other HTTP routes. They support custom API routing, file upload processing, and authenticated request handling for third-party service integration.

Webhook signature validation verifies incoming payloads to prevent unauthorized requests in your Convex backend. It checks cryptographic signatures for services like Stripe and GitHub before processing checkout events or issue updates.

Yes, you can configure CORS headers and Bearer token authentication for custom Convex API routes. This makes endpoints browser-accessible and ensures only authenticated external requests trigger secure internal Convex function invocations.

The best way to process file uploads and parse HTTP requests in Convex is by defining dedicated HTTP action routes. These routes handle incoming multipart data and JSON payloads, then securely invoke internal mutations to persist the data.

Yes, you need HTTP actions to build a Stripe payment webhook that updates your Convex database. They provide the external endpoint URL, verify Stripe signatures, and trigger internal mutations to update subscription data automatically.

External API requests fail to trigger internal Convex mutations securely when missing proper authentication or signature validation. Implementing API key checks and webhook signature verification ensures only authorized external requests invoke your internal functions.
