Jobs API

The Jobs API provides asynchronous job management for long-running agent tasks with progress tracking and streaming.

​
Overview

Jobs API enables:
  • Async job submission with immediate response
  • Job status polling
  • Progress streaming via SSE
  • Job cancellation and cleanup
  • Idempotency for safe retries

​
When to Use

  • Long-running tasks: Tasks that take more than a few seconds
  • Background processing: Fire-and-forget with status polling
  • Progress tracking: Real-time progress updates
  • Reliable execution: Idempotent submissions

​
Base URL + Playground

# Start jobs server (part of unified server)

cancelledJob was cancelled

​
Errors

StatusDescription
202Job accepted
200Success
204Deleted
400Invalid request
404Job not found
409Conflict (job not complete or still running)
500Server error

​
Idempotency

Use Idempotency-Key header to prevent duplicate job submissions: 
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8765/api/v1/runs \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: my-unique-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "Research AI"}'
If the same key is used again, the existing job is returned instead of creating a new one.

​
Notes

  • Jobs are stored in memory by default
  • Configure persistent storage for production
  • Webhook notifications are optional
  • SSE streaming includes heartbeats every 5 seconds
