Run a robot - Browse AI

Run a robot on-demand with custom input parameters.

When you need to run a robot and get its captured data, you can use this endpoint to run the task, and then use webhooks to receive the captured data as soon as the task is finished. Alternatively, you can poll the GET endpoint to retrieve a task's details as soon as it is finished.
