2Every weekschedule_time; schedule_weekdays (e.g. 1,3,5) or schedule_weekday.

  • API v2 supports Bearer token, the legacy api-key header, and query token. Prefer Bearer token for new integrations.
  • PUT is a partial update: omitted fields keep their current values; you do not need to resend the whole task object.
  • To update the task input parameters themselves (not the title or schedule), use PUT /api/v2/worker-tasks/{workerTaskId}/input.
  • The API service does not execute scheduled tasks itself; the Console scheduler must be running for schedules to fire. Re-saving the schedule configuration regenerates the Console-compatible cron (with seconds field and CRON_TZ prefix) that the scheduler registers.
