- **Convex Server SDK** — The Convex Server SDK (convex/server) is the TypeScript library for defining backend logic deployed on Convex. It provides primitives for writing query functions for read-only d...
- **Convex AccessTokens API** — Create and manage Team Access Tokens used for authenticating Management API requests on behalf of a team.
- **Convex Actions API** — Execute action functions for general-purpose server-side operations, including calling external services, performing non-transactional work, and orchestrating other functions.
- **Convex CustomDomains API** — Configure custom domain names for Convex deployments. Supports both convexCloud (function API) and convexSite (HTTP actions) request destinations.
- **Convex DeployKeys API** — Create and manage deploy keys for CLI operations and CI/CD pipelines. Deploy keys authenticate the Convex CLI when pushing function code to a deployment.
- **Convex Deployments API** — Create, list, retrieve, update, and delete Convex cloud and local deployments. Deployments are the runtime environments where Convex backend functions execute.
- **Convex EnvironmentVariables API** — Manage environment variables for a Convex deployment. Environment variables are key-value pairs accessible to backend functions at runtime via process.env. Changes to environmen...
- **Convex Functions API** — Execute any deployed function by its identifier using the unified run endpoint, which accepts the function type implicitly based on the deployed function definition.
- **Convex Mutations API** — Execute mutation functions that perform transactional writes to the Convex database. Mutations are strongly consistent and run with ACID guarantees.
- **Convex Projects API** — Create, list, retrieve, and delete Convex projects within a team. Projects group deployments and serve as the top-level organizational unit for Convex applications.
- **Convex Queries API** — Execute read-only query functions deployed on the Convex backend. Queries run in a transactional, reactive context and return data from the Convex database.
- **Convex Teams API** — Manage Convex teams, team members, and team-level access tokens. Teams are the billing and administrative unit that owns projects.
