Is there a way to use this plugin within my API controllers?

Is there a way to use this plugin within my API controllers? For example I'm hooking into a process when a model is updated and I want to send a request to a third-party service with this data.

Yes the transform functionality is just a service of the plugin so it can be used anywhere you have access to the strapi obj.

@ComfortablyCoding Could you provide an example of this? I was having trouble trying to figure out exactly how to do that.

[ComfortablyCoding]

It should just be

// ..
const data = dataFromEvent;
const transforms = {removeAttributesKey: true, removeDataKey: true };
const transformedData  = strapi.services('plugin::transformer.transformService).transformResponse(transforms,data);
// ..

This is probably a stupid question. Is there any way to reach the plugin service using axios or fetch?

[ComfortablyCoding]

You cannot expose services as an endpoint.

You can create a route with a controller that uses this service, that is convention for strapi.
