Inngest REST API v2
Use this skill for raw REST API v2 work and API reference lookup. If the task
can be completed through npx inngest-cli@latest api, use inngest-api-cli
instead; the CLI is safer for agents because it handles target/auth flags and
endpoint command wiring.
Prefer CLI First
Use inngest-api-cli for:
Run and trace debugging from a run ID or event ID.
Account, environment, key, webhook, app sync, and function invocation checks.
Insights table/schema/query workflows.
Local dev server or Cloud operational checks.
Use raw REST API v2 only when:
The CLI does not expose the needed endpoint.
The user explicitly asks for HTTP, curl, fetch, OpenAPI, or API docs.
You need to inspect request/response schemas before deciding what to do.
Docs Lookup
When precision matters, fetch current docs instead of guessing:
If a Markdown page returns an error or omits generated reference details, use
the OpenAPI spec for methods, paths, parameters, request bodies, and schemas.
Use when designing event-driven workflows, decoupling services, implementing fan-out patterns (one trigger, many downstream handlers), implementing idempotent event handling with IDs (24-hour dedupe window), or handling at-least-once delivery from external sources like Stripe webhooks. Covers Inngest event schema, payload format, naming conventions, IDs for idempotency, the ts param, fan-out patterns, and system events like inngest/function.failed.
