Expose port for additional HTTP/REST API from within extension

HiveMQ Extensions
1

I’d like to expose some additional functionality via a REST API from within a HiveMQ extension. Should this be possible? Are there any sandboxing issues that would prevent this?

Hello @RickBullotta ,

This is supported with the Enterprise Extension SDK - more information can be found in our documentation here.

I hope this answers your question, and if there is any further clarification we can offer, please feel free to reach out!

Thanks for the quick response. Is it correct that Enterprise Extensions will only work with the Enterprise version of HiveMQ, not the community version?

Hello @RickBullotta ,

Happy to assist!

The license required for each extension is noted within the HiveMQ Extension Marketplace, both on the clickable tile for each extension, and on the extension page itself.

For custom extensions, there are two different SDKs that are available for usage, both Community Edition and Enterprise Edition. In order to utilize the Enterprise Edition SDK, a commercial or enterprise license would be required.
