Create Task Run

Initiates a task run.Returns immediately with a run object in status ‘queued’.Beta features can be enabled by setting the ‘parallel-beta’ header.

Parameters:

When false, no progress events are tracked. Note that progress tracking cannot be enabled after a run has been created. The flag is set to true by default for premium processors (pro and above).To enable this feature in your requests, specify events-sse-2025-07-24 as one of the values in parallel-beta header (for API calls) or betas param (for the SDKs).
