# Run from Code

> Run agents programmatically, pass parameters, poll for results, and create recurring schedules using the Python SDK, TypeScript SDK, or REST API.

If you've built an agent in the Cloud UI and want to trigger it from your codebase, this page shows how. You can run agents on demand, poll for results, and set up recurring schedules using the Python SDK, TypeScript SDK, or REST API.

This is for agents defined in the visual editor. If you're writing your entire automation in code (no agent editor involved), see [Browser Automation](/developers/browser-automations/overview) instead.

***

## Run an agent

Pass values for the agent's input parameters. The call returns immediately with a `run_id` -- the agent runs asynchronously in the background.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  import os
  import asyncio
  from skyvern import Skyvern

  async def main():
      client = Skyvern(api_key=os.getenv("SKYVERN_API_KEY"))

      run = await client.run_workflow(
          workflow_id="wpid_123456789",
          parameters={
              "resume": "https://example.com/resume.pdf",
              "job_url": "https://jobs.lever.co/company/position"
          }
      )

      print(f"Run ID: {run.run_id}")

  asyncio.run(main())
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { SkyvernClient } from "@skyvern/client";

  async function main() {
    const client = new SkyvernClient({
      apiKey: process.env.SKYVERN_API_KEY,
    });

    const run = await client.runWorkflow({
      body: {
        workflow_id: "wpid_123456789",
        parameters: {
          resume: "https://example.com/resume.pdf",
          job_url: "https://jobs.lever.co/company/position",
        },
      },
    });

    console.log(`Run ID: ${run.run_id}`);
  }

  main();
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.skyvern.com/v1/run/workflows" \
    -H "x-api-key: $SKYVERN_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "workflow_id": "wpid_123456789",
      "parameters": {
        "resume": "https://example.com/resume.pdf",
        "job_url": "https://jobs.lever.co/company/position"
      }
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Example response:**

```json theme={null}
{
  "run_id": "wr_486305187432193510",
  "status": "created"
}
```

### Run parameters

| Parameter            | Type             | Required | Description                                                                                                   |

## Get results

Agents run asynchronously, so you need to check back for results. You have two options: poll the API, or receive a webhook when the agent completes.

### Option 1: Polling

Poll `get_run` until the status reaches a terminal state.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  run_id = run.run_id

  while True:
      result = await client.get_run(run_id)

      if result.status in ["completed", "failed", "terminated", "timed_out", "canceled"]:
          break

      await asyncio.sleep(5)

  print(f"Status: {result.status}")
  print(f"Output: {result.output}")
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  const runId = run.run_id;

  while (true) {
    const result = await client.getRun(runId);

    if (["completed", "failed", "terminated", "timed_out", "canceled"].includes(result.status)) {
      console.log(`Status: ${result.status}`);
      console.log(`Output: ${JSON.stringify(result.output)}`);
      break;
    }

    await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
  }
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  #!/bin/bash
  RUN_ID="wr_486305187432193510"

  while true; do
    RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X GET "https://api.skyvern.com/v1/runs/$RUN_ID" \
      -H "x-api-key: $SKYVERN_API_KEY")

    STATUS=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.status')
    echo "Status: $STATUS"

    if [[ "$STATUS" == "completed" || "$STATUS" == "failed" || "$STATUS" == "terminated" || "$STATUS" == "timed_out" || "$STATUS" == "canceled" ]]; then
      echo "$RESPONSE" | jq '.output'
      break
    fi

    sleep 5
  done
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Option 2: Webhooks

Pass a `webhook_url` when running the agent. Skyvern sends a POST request to your URL when the agent reaches a terminal state.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  run = await client.run_workflow(
      workflow_id="wpid_123456789",
      parameters={
          "resume": "https://example.com/resume.pdf",
          "job_url": "https://jobs.lever.co/company/position"
      },
      webhook_url="https://your-server.com/webhook"
  )
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  const run = await client.runWorkflow({
    body: {
      workflow_id: "wpid_123456789",
      parameters: {
        resume: "https://example.com/resume.pdf",
        job_url: "https://jobs.lever.co/company/position",
      },
      webhook_url: "https://your-server.com/webhook",
    },
  });
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.skyvern.com/v1/run/workflows" \
    -H "x-api-key: $SKYVERN_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "workflow_id": "wpid_123456789",
      "parameters": {
        "resume": "https://example.com/resume.pdf",
        "job_url": "https://jobs.lever.co/company/position"
      },
      "webhook_url": "https://your-server.com/webhook"
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The webhook payload contains the same data as the polling response. See [Webhooks](/developers/going-to-production/webhooks) for authentication and retry options.

## Schedule an agent

Schedules let you run any agent automatically on a recurring basis. Define a cron expression and timezone, and Skyvern triggers the agent at each interval.

### Create a schedule

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  import os
  import asyncio
  from skyvern import Skyvern

  async def main():
      client = Skyvern(api_key=os.getenv("SKYVERN_API_KEY"))

      result = await client.agent.create_workflow_schedule(
          workflow_permanent_id="wpid_123456789",
          cron_expression="0 9 * * 1-5",
          timezone="America/New_York",
          name="Weekday morning report",
          description="Runs the data extraction workflow every weekday at 9 AM ET",
          parameters={
              "url": "https://example.com/dashboard",
              "output_format": "csv"
          }
      )

      print(f"Schedule ID: {result.schedule.workflow_schedule_id}")

  asyncio.run(main())
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X POST "https://api.skyvern.com/api/v1/workflows/wpid_123456789/schedules" \
    -H "x-api-key: $SKYVERN_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "cron_expression": "0 9 * * 1-5",
      "timezone": "America/New_York",
      "name": "Weekday morning report",
      "description": "Runs the data extraction workflow every weekday at 9 AM ET",
      "parameters": {
        "url": "https://example.com/dashboard",
        "output_format": "csv"
      }
    }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

**Schedule parameters:**

| Field             | Type    | Required | Description                                         |
| ----------------- | ------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `cron_expression` | string  | Yes      | 5-field cron expression (minimum 5-minute interval) |
| `timezone`        | string  | Yes      | IANA timezone identifier (e.g., `America/New_York`) |
| `name`            | string  | No       | Human-readable name for the schedule                |
| `description`     | string  | No       | Description of what this schedule does              |
| `parameters`      | object  | No       | Agent parameters to pass on each run                |
| `enabled`         | boolean | No       | Whether the schedule is active. Defaults to `true`  |

### Enable and disable a schedule

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  # Disable
  await client.agent.disable_workflow_schedule(
      workflow_permanent_id="wpid_123456789",
      workflow_schedule_id="wfs_abc123"
  )

  # Re-enable
  await client.agent.enable_workflow_schedule(
      workflow_permanent_id="wpid_123456789",
      workflow_schedule_id="wfs_abc123"
  )
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  # Disable
  curl -X POST "https://api.skyvern.com/api/v1/workflows/wpid_123456789/schedules/wfs_abc123/disable" \
    -H "x-api-key: $SKYVERN_API_KEY"

  # Re-enable
  curl -X POST "https://api.skyvern.com/api/v1/workflows/wpid_123456789/schedules/wfs_abc123/enable" \
    -H "x-api-key: $SKYVERN_API_KEY"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Delete a schedule

Permanently remove a schedule. This cannot be undone. Runs that were already triggered by this schedule are not affected.

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  await client.agent.delete_workflow_schedule_route(
      workflow_permanent_id="wpid_123456789",
      workflow_schedule_id="wfs_abc123"
  )
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X DELETE "https://api.skyvern.com/api/v1/workflows/wpid_123456789/schedules/wfs_abc123" \
    -H "x-api-key: $SKYVERN_API_KEY"
  ```
</CodeGroup>
