# HTTP Endpoints

HTTP vals (`fileType: "http"`) export a request handler and run on every incoming HTTP request. Each HTTP file is assigned a live URL — never construct it yourself; read `links.endpoint` from `list_files` or `create_file` responses, or call `fetch_val_endpoint`.

That URL is open to anyone unless the val's app access (`httpPrivacy`) is `restricted`, in which case unauthenticated callers get a `302` to a login page instead of your response — see the `restricted-access` skill.

## Basic handler

```ts
// Learn more: https://docs.val.town/vals/http/
export default async function (req: Request): Promise<Response> {
  return Response.json({ ok: true });
}
```
