How to start Camunda 8 [cloud] process using API?

Camunda 8 Topics

Hi,

I’m starting with Camunda 8. I create simple process and wonder how to initiate it and next complete task.
I see there is some API documentation here [Zeebe API (gRPC) | Camunda Platform 8 Docs] with ‘ActivateJobsRequest’ method. But this is some gRPC.
Is there any human way like pure http and POST? Like it was in Camunda 7 [REST].

Hi @mkelton :wave:

Interaction with Camunda 8 happens through the gRPC API you linked. You can use an existing client directly from your programming language. There are official clients, like for Java, or Go. Use one of the community clients. Or you can build your own client.

Thank you very much!
This is not a good message for me - I was hoping for REST :frowning:

I’ve created a simple REST API as a community project, which can be connected to Camunda Platform SaaS easily. It’s still in Beta, as I’m looking for feedback. Let me know what you think.
