This is useful for local testing without exposing public HTTP endpoints, batch retrieval, and combining push/pull patterns to avoid constant polling. It's available now in Svix Ingest and Operational Webhooks, enabled via a dashboard toggle, with customers creating polling endpoints through the app portal. Future plans include integrating this into the Svix CLI and Svix Bridge. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are Svix polling endpoints and how do they differ from regular webhook endpoints? Polling endpoints are a Svix feature that expose a special URL customers can poll to retrieve messages, instead of Svix pushing messages to a webhook URL. They deliver events in real-time with a consistent, first-in-first-out order, and are useful for local testing without exposing a public HTTP endpoint, or for batch retrieval when real-time delivery isn't needed. _Teams weighing push versus pull delivery for event APIs can track patterns like this on daily.dev._ ### How do I enable polling endpoints for my Svix account? Polling endpoints are available in both Svix Ingest and Operational Webhooks environments. To enable them for all customers, go to the environment settings page in the Svix dashboard and toggle 'Enable Polling Endpoints.' Once enabled, customers can create a polling endpoint directly from the app portal by clicking 'Add Endpoint' and selecting the Polling Endpoint option; there is no API for creating them yet. _Developers rolling out new webhook infrastructure features can follow updates like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Polling or Webhooks](https://daily.dev/posts/polling-or-webhooks-fom6ptk1f) · System Design Codex · 3 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#architecture](https://daily.dev/tags/architecture), [#backend](https://daily.dev/tags/backend) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-polling-endpoints-wxfvmfdox) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Announcing Polling Endpoints","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-polling-endpoints-wxfvmfdox","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-polling-endpoints-wxfvmfdox"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T07:21:03.072Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T07:27:16.330Z","description":"Svix has launched Polling Endpoints as a public feature, letting customers poll a special URL to retrieve messages in real-time and consistent order, as an...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/d05c1b5b90486d79bfd380b1dc58db0a?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/d05c1b5b90486d79bfd380b1dc58db0a?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Svix Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Svix Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--Shf9MlOr--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787469609/logos/svix?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/svix"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-polling-endpoints-wxfvmfdox","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"architecture,backend","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Svix Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/svix"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Announcing Polling Endpoints"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-polling-endpoints-wxfvmfdox#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What are Svix polling endpoints and how do they differ from regular webhook endpoints?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Polling endpoints are a Svix feature that expose a special URL customers can poll to retrieve messages, instead of Svix pushing messages to a webhook URL.
