# Custom Adapter

An adapter is a piece of software that converts HTTP protocol to your own. There are various ways to achieve that.

One such example of a custom adapter that converts HTTP to MQTT protocol, written in node js, is available at <https://github.com/thystreet/http-mqtt-adapter>. This is just for explanatory purposes and not recommended to be used in production, and pull requests are welcomed.

{% hint style="info" %}
Would you please help us decide the next protocol for **device integration**?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guide.thystreet.com/devices/webhook/custom-adapter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
