Functions API

The Functions service allows you to create custom behaviour that can be triggered by any supported Appwrite system events or by a predefined schedule.

Appwrite Cloud Functions lets you automatically run backend code in response to events triggered by Appwrite or by setting it to be executed in a predefined schedule. Your code is stored in a secure way on your Appwrite instance and is executed in an isolated environment.

You can learn more by following our Cloud Functions tutorial.

Create Execution

POST/v1/functions/{functionId}/executions

Trigger a function execution. The returned object will return you the current execution status. You can ping the Get Execution endpoint to get updates on the current execution status. Once this endpoint is called, your function execution process will start asynchronously.

Rate Limits

This endpoint is limited to 60 requests in every 1 minutes per IP address and user account. We use rate limits to avoid service abuse by users and as a security practice. Learn more about rate limiting.
