description: toNodeHandler for node:http servers, plus building blocks for frameworks with their own request type.
---

For `node:http` servers and anything built on them:

```ts
import { createServer } from 'node:http'
import { toNodeHandler } from 'webhooks-sdk/node'

const server = createServer(toNodeHandler(handler))
```

The module also exports the building blocks — `readRawBody(request)` and
`fromNodeRequest(request, rawBody?)` — if you're wiring into a framework
with its own request type. None of it pulls in `@types/node`, so your own
type setup stays untouched.

:::warning[Twilio needs an absolute URL on Node]
Twilio signs your endpoint's full public URL, but Node's `req.url` is just a
path. Behind `toNodeHandler`, configure the
[Twilio provider](/docs/providers/twilio) with an explicit `url` — the SDK throws
a `ConfigurationError` at startup rather than failing every delivery as a
bad signature.
