from the docs, should be the correct way of using it only thing to be careful is getting rate limited with multiple requests

yes, I'm worried about this. If I have same user comments, is Clerk going to fetch multiple times for that user data? sorry for my bad English.

if you need the user data consistently you can store local copies in the database

with the webhook payload you can copy into your local database

you can copy the webhook payload and call yourself your local endpoint

if I would install the @clerk/nextjs/server library. Would I still be able to create a procedure with this and use it inside my expo application (create-t3-turbo)?

how to get the profile_image_url from images.clerk.dev when using webhook?
James Perkins
James Perkins2y ago
it comes right after the create hook in the updated hook. we have to process the image so the first one retuned is the OG image.

it is images.clerk.dev sharing my webhook: ( /api/webhook/create-user.ts )
import { clerkClient } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'
import { z } from 'zod'

import { prisma } from '~/server/db'

import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from 'next'

const requestSchema = z.object({
data: z.object({ id: z.string() }),
object: z.literal('event'),
type: z.literal('user.created'),
})

export default async function handler(
req: NextApiRequest,
res: NextApiResponse
) {
const { data } = requestSchema.parse(req.body)

const user = await clerkClient.users.getUser(data.id)

const createUser = await prisma.user.create({
data: {
id: user.id,
createdAt: new Date(user.createdAt),
updatedAt: new Date(user.updatedAt),
firstName: user.firstName,
lastName: user.lastName,
username: user.username,
profileImageUrl: user.profileImageUrl,
},
})

console.log('Created user', createUser)

return res.status(200).json(createUser)
}
