# Run a data tool

`POST /data/runs`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crevio.co/v1/data/runs`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Runs one data tool (find it with listDataTools) with `input` matching its `input_schema`, and returns the source's data. Billed from what the source charged, usually 1-5 credits; a failed run is free. Tools marked `queued` wait on the source's queue: if one is not done within about 25 seconds the run comes back `running` (HTTP 202), so poll getDataRun until it is `succeeded` or `failed`.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `tool_id` string, required: Tool id from listDataTools, e.g. smb.search.
  - `input` object: The tool's input, per its input_schema.

## Response `200`

Finished run (succeeded or failed).

  - `object` string, required
