HTTP API
Question (sorry if I miss something obvious in the documentation again): is it possible to expose an action or mutation as an API endpoint that I can call programmatically? Let's say that I have a really long running task that runs on a different backend and I don't want to
await on it from the action . I found API for Airbyte https://docs.convex.dev/http-api/ is that my best bet?Convex HTTP API | Convex Developer Hub

Good point, we should document the HTTP endpoints more directly. If you're in js/typescript, you can call queries/mutations from ConvexHttpClient https://docs.convex.dev/api/modules/browser

There is also a python client https://pypi.org/project/convex/
Oh python is perfect. Thank you!
Would be even better if you have a golang one 🙂
We don't have an official client in golang (yet) but you can hack it together yourself if you're feeling ambitious. Like this https://github.com/gautamg795/convex-golink/blob/main/convex.go

haha was just about to link that — it's pretty scrappy, but gets the job done
func (c *ConvexDB) mutation and func (c *ConvexDB) query are the two important functions theresweet, thanks!
