Notes

• API v2 supports Bearer token, the legacy api-key header, and query token. Prefer Bearer token for new integrations.
• worker_id accepts a Worker slug, or an owner/name path encoded as owner~name.
• Read the Worker input schema before building input; form fields belong under input.parameters.custom. Use GET /api/v2/workers/{workerId}/input-schema to read the schema.
• Schedule fields: schedule_enabled 1 enabled / 0 disabled; schedule_type 1=daily, 2=weekly, 3=monthly, 4=once; schedule_time is HH:mm; schedule_once_date is YYYY-MM-DD. Omit all schedule fields when scheduling is not needed.
