# Run a job immediately

`POST /api/jobs/run`

Execute a job immediately by providing its ID. The job's configured tests will be run. For k6 jobs, an optional `location` can target an enabled location code or `global` for unrestricted any-worker routing.

## Request body

- object
  - `jobId` string, uuid, required — ID of the job to run
  - `tests` object[], required — Tests to execute for this run. The server validates ownership and uses the stored scripts as the source of truth.
    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `name` string
    - `title` string
    - `type` 'browser' | 'api' | 'performance' | 'database' | 'custom'
  - `trigger` 'manual' | 'remote' | 'schedule', required — Requested trigger source. CLI-authenticated calls are normalized to `remote` by the server.
  - `location` string — Optional execution location for k6 jobs. Use an enabled location code (for example `us-east`) or `global` for unrestricted any-worker routing. `global` is rejected when project location restrictions are enabled.

## Response `200`
