What is a job scheduler API?

A job scheduler API is a programming interface that allows developers to automate and control the scheduling of jobs within a software environment. This type of API enables the creation, management and deletion of jobs. Through endpoints exposed by the API, users can specify job details such as job name, runtime and the specific automation schema in the request body. Functions typically include running jobs at predetermined times or in response to specified events, managing job retries and overseeing job execution statuses. Job scheduler APIs are essential in environments like Google Cloud, where managing and scaling numerous tasks efficiently is crucial. Finding the right process automation tool for IT.

What is an API scheduler?
