Jobs are submitted to workflows that are built for you by the Data8 Production Team to your specifications, and the details of the data to be provided to each workflow and generated by it will be documented by them.

If you do not already have a workflow available to submit jobs to, please get in touch with your account manager to discuss your requirements.

All requests must be authenticated using an Authorization: Bearer header, with the bearer token being obtained from the Data8 OAuth token server at https://auth.data-8.co.uk/connect/token.
