Build HTTP endpoints for webhooks, external API integrations, and custom routes in Convex applications. Before implementing, do not assume; fetch the latest documentation: HTTP actions allow you to define HTTP endpoints in Convex that can: Use path prefix matching for dynamic routes: - Primary: - Actions Overview: - Authentication: - For broader context: - Receive webhooks from third-party services - Create custom API routes - Handle file uploads - Integrate with external services - Serve dynamic content - Never run npx convex deploy unless explicitly instructed - Never run any git commands unless explicitly instructed - Always validate and sanitize incoming request data - Use internal functions for database operations - Implement proper error handling with appropriate status codes - Add CORS headers for browser-accessible endpoints - Verify webhook signatures before processing - Log webhook events for debugging - Use environment variables for secrets - Handle timeouts gracefully - Missing CORS preflight handler - Browsers send OPTIONS requests first - Not validating webhook signatures - Security vulnerability - Exposing internal functions - Use internal functions from HTTP actions - Forgetting Content-Type headers - Clients may not parse responses correctly - Not handling request body errors - Invalid JSON will throw - Blocking on long operations - Use scheduled functions for...
