Description David Cook 2020-10-20 00:19:43 UTC 
It would be great if there were a HTTP API endpoint that we could use to enqueue tasks. 

That said, we would need to be careful with permissions, so it would probably need to be a different endpoint for each kind of task that could be enqueued.

My main thought here is to have a task scheduler daemon that adds tasks via the task queue endpoint when its timers fire, but it could be used in all sorts of ways. A frontend AJAX call could add a task and then either poll/have a refresh button to get updated information about that task.

It looks like you can only get/list jobs. The search also looks like it could have some issues if used outside of the current context (ie the Admin module)...

I'm happy to close this one though as I don't think I'll work on it, and I'm not sure it's even a good idea.
