While this is not directly possible in a first-class way, you could likely set up a simple web server and then send requests to it by using [sources in functions](https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/functions/api-calls/) or [webhooks](https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/data-connection/webhooks-overview/)
