Mutation in Convex through NextJS API Routes
Hello, I'm currently working on a NextJS Project where there are multiple riddles where the user will submit their answers. I'm currently evaluating them on the server-side through NextJS 13 API Routes (Route Handlers).
I was wondering how I would create a mutation from NextJS 13 API Routes into Convex to update my DB.
I'm majorly relying on convex real-time for a scoreboard (high-read throughput), but I need the writes to simply just be over HTTP, as I currently validate them through existing NextJS API Routes.
Attached a flow chart of my problem, would love recommendation(s) / resource(s).

It sounds like you want to use the ConvexHttpClient in Next.js to call some mutations.
Thank you! This worked out great!
Dinuma can you share how did you make it work?
@Coffee11 we have simplified the API for this, see docs:
https://docs.convex.dev/client/react/nextjs/server-rendering#server-actions-and-route-handlers
Next.js Server Rendering | Convex Developer Hub
Next.js automatically renders both Client and Server Components on the server
Git it working now thanks !
