Custom REST source

Other tools on the same machine send events by HTTP POST, using the Custom WebSocket message format.

Simulator only. Ingest is served by pnpm dev and pnpm start; the Overwolf app cannot host an HTTP endpoint.

Tokens

Each source has one or more bearer tokens. Create, copy and revoke them on the source. Tokens are stored locally and never exported.

Sending events

The source card shows the ingest URL and a curl example:

curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5173/ingest/<sourceId> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"event":"Hello","data":{"user":"me"}}'

Status	Meaning
202	Accepted
401	Missing or wrong token
503	The Stream Pulse page is not open or not connected

Limits

• Only loopback requests are accepted. Requests from a browser page must come from the same origin.
• Bodies are limited to 64 KB.
• The browser holds a stream to the local server; events are delivered only while the Stream Pulse page is open.

See Local server for how the endpoint works.
