Functions

CLIENT

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.

List Executions

Get a list of all the current user function execution logs. You can use the query params to filter your results.

  • Request
    • functionId string
      required

      Function ID.

    • queries array

      Array of query strings generated using the Query class provided by the SDK. Learn more about queries. Maximum of 100 queries are allowed, each 4096 characters long. You may filter on the following attributes: trigger, status, statusCode, duration

    • search string

      Search term to filter your list results. Max length: 256 chars.

  • Response
Endpoint
GET /functions/{functionId}/executions
Flutter
import 'package:appwrite/appwrite.dart';

void main() { // Init SDK
  Client client = Client();
  Functions functions = Functions(client);

  client
    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    .setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
  ;
  Future result = functions.listExecutions(
    functionId: '[FUNCTION_ID]',
  );

  result
    .then((response) {
      print(response);
    }).catchError((error) {
      print(error.response);
  });
}

Create Execution

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.

  • Request
    • functionId string
      required

      Function ID.

    • data string

      String of custom data to send to function.

    • async boolean

      Execute code in the background. Default value is false.

  • Response
  • Rate limits

    This endpoint is rate limited. You can only make a limited number of request to his endpoint within a specific time frame.

    The limit is applied for each unique limit key.

  result
    .then((response) {
      print(response);

      print(error.response);
  });
}

Get Execution

Get a function execution log by its unique ID.

  • Request
    • functionId string
      required

      Function ID.

    • executionId string
      required

      Execution ID.

  • Response
Endpoint
GET /functions/{functionId}/executions/{executionId}
Flutter

    .setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // Your API Endpoint
    .setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
  ;
  Future result = functions.getExecution(
    functionId: '[FUNCTION_ID]',
    executionId: '[EXECUTION_ID]',
  );

  result
    .then((response) {
      print(response);
    }).catchError((error) {
      print(error.response);
