[SOLVED] execute a function via rest api without headers?

I'm hoping to use appwrite function as handler for inbound webhook from xero. Can't add custom authentication to xero webhook (i.e. can't configure to include x-appwrite-project).

So, I can create function execution via rest api fine with x-appwrite-project header, but if I try to use the project query param I'm getting Function with the requested ID could not be found.

Is it possible to execute a function without appwrite headers?

TL;DR

User is asking if it's possible to execute a function via a REST API without headers. A couple of solutions are suggested, including using a proxy and including the necessary information in the request body. The user eventually discovers that the issue is related to the project ID and permissions. The thread is marked as solved.

Maybe this will help: https://appwrite.io/docs/rest#no-headers

yep, I was going off that example. so trying something like this is what's returning the error above

https://[MY_APPWRITE_URL]/v1/functions/[FUNCTION_ID]/executions?project=[MY_PROJECT_ID]

You sure the project is correct? And request method is post? And permissions are set to any?

yep. project id in url is the same as project id in header (in postman) if I toggle the x-appwrite-project header on, I can create function execution, if I toggle off (with project id as query param) then it fails with Function with the requested ID could not be found.

How about if you include it in the request body?

yep, that works

but same issue as with headers re xero webhook...

Honestly, functions don't work so well as a web hook right now. It will in a future release 😁

For now, you might need a proxy in front of Appwrite

ahh, cool. thanks @Steven

yep, I was hoping to avoid that, but need it for another reason anyway - i.e. parsing and transforming the resposne structure from function execution to conform with openapi spec...
