Hello Kacem, There are multiple different ways to get information into NiFi. ListenHTTP would be the easiest way to start an HTTP Server that is used to receive FlowFiles from remote sources. Assuming your PHP code only acts as a router, ListenHTTP should allow you to bypass the PHP code entirely and just launch the workflow when it receives an HTTP request from the Web Service.
If the PHP code is necessary and it's running on the same box as NiFi then you could use the GetFile processor. That mean you write a file via PHP then NiFi would grab the file and process it whenever possible. Of course there are considerations you have to take into account when you start putting things directly onto the file system. There are many other options for getting files into NiFi and if either of these options don't fit your use-case just let us know.

I'm receiving this call through PHP. Is it possible to trigger a processor to retrieve the whole data and launch the workflow of processing for that data through another API Call from my PHP Code? (Web service send an API Callback --> My PHP code was listening --> Send an API call to Nifi to launch a processor with specific attributes) Another question: It seems like Nifi has ListenHTTP processor. does it allow to have an url to be used as a callback (which means is accessible through the network to be used as a API Callback url?). Thanks in advance.
