[SOLVED] Stripe webhook to appwrite function. Error general_argument_invalid

Hi! I (ChatGPT xD) have created an appwrite function with node.js, which looks like this:

TypeScript

const sdk = require("node-appwrite");
const stripe = require("stripe");

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
    const client = new sdk.Client();
    const stripeClient = stripe(req.variables["STRIPE_SECRET_KEY"]);

    if (
        !req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT"] ||
        !req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY"]
    ) {
        console.warn(
            "Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK."
        );
    } else {
        client
            .setEndpoint(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT"])
            .setProject(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID"])
            .setKey(req.variables["APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY"])
            .setSelfSigned(true);
    }

    let data = req.payload;

    try {
        let event = stripeClient.webhooks.constructEvent(
            data,
            req.headers["stripe-signature"],
            "your-stripe-webhook-secret"
        );

        if (event.type === "checkout.session.completed") {
            let session = event.data.object;
            let user_id = session.metadata.user_id;
            console.log(
                `Payment for user ${user_id} was successful.`
            );

            //Here, a database update is going to be made to mark as successful
        }

        res.send("Webhook handled successfully.", 200);
    } catch (err) {
        console.error(`Failed to handle webhook: ${err}`);
        res.send("Webhook handling failed.", 500);
    }
};

And I created a webhook in stripe, that should create an execution on that function (Reference: Image). This webhook triggers on the checkout.session.complete event. So when I trigger the event of a successful payment, I get the following error: (Next message)

TL;DR

The user is experiencing an error with their Stripe webhook to Appwrite function. The error message is "general_argument_invalid". It seems that the problem may be caused by a mismatch between the expected JSON schema of Appwrite and Stripe's webhook payload. The user mentions a possible solution of using a proxy server to handle the schema mapping and authentication headers. However, it's unclear if there is an official implementation from Appwrite. The user also shares the code of their Appwrite function written in Node.js. The function handles the "checkout.session.completed" event from Stripe and performs some database updates. It's not clear what exactly is causing the error

TypeScript

{
  "message": "Invalid data: Value must be a valid string and at least 1 chars and no longer than 8192 chars",
  "code": 400,
  "type": "general_argument_invalid",
  "version": "1.3.8"
}

The problem is:

The data that stripe sends is not at all 8192 characters long. In fact, it's around 2k. I don't have any idea how to fix this

According to stripe, this is what their request to the endpoint (my function) is:

Stripe webhook to appwrite function. Error general_argument_invalid

So I maybe found the problem: In this (https://dev.to/appwrite/start-selling-online-using-appwrite-and-stripe-3l04) older official article, it says: "Looking at Appwrite documentation, it expects a JSON body where all data is stringified under the data key. On the other hand, looking at Stripe documentation, it sends a webhook with all data in the root level as a JSON object.

Alongside this schema miss-match, Appwrite also expects some custom headers (such as API key), which Stripe cannot send. This problem can be solved by a simple proxy server that can properly map between these two schemas, and apply authentication headers. "

It also says to this: "You can expect official implementation from Appwrite itself, but as of right now, you can use Meldiron’s Appwrite webhook proxy. "

But because this article is quite old, I am asking:

Is there an official implementation from Appwrite? The repository also seems like it's already a bit old (1 year ago there was the last update)

https://github.com/Meldiron/appwrite-webhook-proxy

This one is probably better: https://github.com/BoolCode/appwrite-funcover

Also, this proxy won't be needed in the next version of Appwrite

Ah okay, thank you, will use that for now.

Looking forward to v 1.4 :)

So, I have set up funcover, but I cannot get around this error:
