Introducing the Fetch APIs

May 9, 2025

We are thrilled to release Fetch, a set of new APIs to make durable HTTP requests within an Inngest function. Now available in our TypeScript SDK, the step.fetch() API and the fetch() utility enable you to make requests to third-party APIs or fetch data in a durable way by offloading them to the Inngest Platform.

const processFiles = inngest.createFunction(
  { id: "process-files" },
  { event: "files/process" },
  async ({ step }) => {
    // The request is offloaded to the Inngest Platform
    const response = await step.fetch("https://api.example.com/files", {
      method: "GET",
      headers: {
        "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}`
      }
    })

    // Your Inngest function is resumed here with the response
    await step.run("process-file", async (file) => {
      const body = await response.json()
      // body.files
    })
  }
)
