Receiving HTTP Requests
I want to be able to receive HTTP requests, do some processing on the JSON and then post that to a discord channel. Are there any docs about receiving HTTP requests? I only saw the docs about calling an API. How would I be able to get my discord server to just wait on incoming requests, and only do an action when that request is received. Thanks!

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

gotcha, i'm pretty familiar with express, but once I receieved a request with express what's the best way to forward that JSON to discord.js to trigger an action?
also lmk if this question is off-topic and should be moved i don't want to break any rules ðŸ˜

would I have discord.js running in the same file as my express server then?

ahh that makes more sense, thanks! 😄
would this just be a webhook then? or still make a bot
ig the reason i'm doing all this is because I'm currently sending out POST requests from a google app script, but it's difficult to do any data processing there so I thought it would be nice to send the JSON data to a node server where I could process everything there
but if that is an option i'll definitely look into it
gotcha sounds good, i'll try implementing this rn! thanks 😄
does this come with a server to receive the HTTP requests?
or would I still be using express to do that
