Quick Start

This guide will walk you through invoking cloud functions via HTTP access services, enabling your cloud functions to be accessed through HTTP requests.

Step 1: Create cloud function​

First, we need to create a simple cloud function as an example:

  1. Go to the Cloud Development Console and select your environment.
  2. In the left menu bar, choose "Cloud Functions" and click "New Cloud Function".
  3. Create a cloud function named helloWorld
  4. Write the following code:
exports.main = async function() {
    return "Hello World!";
};
  1. Click "Save and Install Dependencies" to complete the cloud function deployment

💡 Tip: You can also refer to the Cloud Function Quick Start to get a more detailed Cloud Function creation guide.

Step 2: Configure HTTP Access Route​

Next, configure the HTTP access route for the cloud function:

  1. Go to the CloudBase HTTP Access Service page
  2. Click the "New" button to create a "Domain-Associated Resource"
  3. Fill in the configuration according to the following information:
    • Associated Resource: Select "Cloud Function", then choose the newly created helloWorld function
    • Domain Name: Select the default domain name (or choose your configured custom domain name)
    • Trigger Path: Fill in /hello (this will become the access path)

HTTP Service Configuration Example

  1. Click "OK", and the system will begin creating the HTTP service
  2. Wait for 3-5 minutes, and the HTTP service will be configured and take effect

Step 3: Access Your HTTP Service​

After the HTTP service is created, you can access it via the following methods:

  1. Access via command line:
curl https://{your-domain}/hello
# Result: Hello World!
  1. Access via browser: Simply enter https://{your-domain}/hello in your browser's address bar

Browser Access Effect

📝 Note: The complete address of the HTTP service consists of "domain name" + "trigger path". If you use a custom domain name, please ensure that domain name ICP filing and HTTPS certificate configuration are completed.
