gRPC

with ToolJet

ToolJet’s gRPC integration helps you build efficient internal tools that communicate directly with gRPC services, ideal for high-performance, real-time applications.

Docs

Available actions with ToolJet and Anthropic integration

ToolJet's integration with Anthropic supports various operations:

Handle unary requests and responses

Query gRPC methods using proto definitions for precise, structured communication. Supports unary request-response interactions.

Only supports self-hosted

This integration is exclusive to self-hosted ToolJet instances (v2.5+). Add your .proto files and mount them in your Docker setup to enable the gRPC datasource.

Connect securely

Authenticate using Basic Auth, Bearer Token, or API Key depending on your gRPC server configuration. Connect via server URL.

Query specific RPC methods

Once configured, select any available RPC method from your proto file and pass the required payload to fetch real-time responses inside your ToolJet app.

Docker-based setup

Configure volume mounts for /protos, reboot your instance, and ToolJet will auto-discover your gRPC service definitions for immediate use.

Frequently asked questions

1. What’s the difference between gRPC vs REST?

gRPC uses HTTP/2 and protocol buffers, making it faster and more efficient than REST, which relies on HTTP/1.1 and JSON. gRPC is ideal for microservices, while REST is widely used for public APIs due to its simplicity.

2. How does the gRPC protocol work?

The gRPC protocol leverages HTTP/2 for multiplexed streams and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) for compact data serialization, allowing for low-latency communication between distributed systems.

3. How do I get started with gRPC in Python?

To use gRPC in Python, install the grpcio and grpcio-tools packages. Define services in .proto files, compile them, and use the generated code to build your client and server.

4. Is gRPC better than HTTP for APIs?

gRPC vs HTTP (RESTful APIs) comes down to performance vs compatibility. gRPC offers better performance and binary efficiency, while HTTP/REST is more human-readable and widely supported by browsers.

5. Can I use gRPC to build APIs?

Yes, gRPC API development is common in high-performance environments. It allows developers to define services in .proto files and generate code for multiple languages automatically.

6. Does gRPC support languages like Rust or Java?

Yes. gRPC supports many languages, including gRPC-Java for Java applications and community-maintained gRPC Rust libraries like tonic for building efficient, type-safe APIs in Rust.
