# POST /v1/{+parent}:startManualRuns

`POST /v1/{+parent}:startManualRuns`

Manually initiates transfer runs. You can schedule these runs in two ways: 1. For a specific point in time using the 'requested_run_time' parameter. 2. For a period between 'start_time' (inclusive) and 'end_time' (exclusive). If scheduling a single run, it is set to execute immediately (schedule_time equals the current time). When scheduling multiple runs within a time range, the first run starts now, and subsequent runs are delayed by 15 seconds each.

## Path parameters

- `parent` string, required

## Request body

- StartManualTransferRunsRequest — A request to start manual transfer runs.
  - `requestedRunTime` string, google-datetime — A run_time timestamp for historical data files or reports that are scheduled to be transferred by the scheduled transfer run. requested_run_time must be a past time and cannot include future time values.
  - `requestedTimeRange` TimeRange — A specification for a time range, this will request transfer runs with run_time between start_time (inclusive) and end_time (exclusive).
    - `endTime` string, google-datetime — End time of the range of transfer runs. For example, `"2017-05-30T00:00:00+00:00"`. The end_time must not be in the future. Creates transfer runs where run_time is in the range between start_time (inclusive) and end_time (exclusive).
    - `startTime` string, google-datetime — Start time of the range of transfer runs. For example, `"2017-05-25T00:00:00+00:00"`. The start_time must be strictly less than the end_time. Creates transfer runs where run_time is in the range between start_time (inclusive) and end_time (exclusive).
