## Create a task

`tasks.create(TaskCreateParams**kwargs)  -> Worker`

**post** `/api/tasks`

Run a new task against an existing worker and wait for the result. Send a `taskId` of a prior task to add a follow-up turn instead of starting a fresh task. Send `multipart/form-data` to attach files; the bytes are bootstrapped into the worker's workspace before the task starts. The task runs to completion on the server even if the connection drops; subscribe to task webhooks for long-running tasks.

### Parameters

- `input: str`

- `budget: Optional[Literal["low", "standard", "high", "unlimited"]]`

  Compute budget the worker is allowed to spend on the task. Defaults to `standard`.

  - `"low"`

  - `"standard"`

  - `"high"`

  - `"unlimited"`

- `task_id: Optional[str]`

  Optional client-provided task id. Reuse this id to add turns to an existing task.

- `worker_id: Optional[str]`

  Worker id the task belongs to. If omitted, a new worker is created on-the-fly using the input as instructions.
