Creating a Lite Server Task

Function

This API is used to create a Lite Server task. It is used when you need to start a development, test, or deployment task on the Lite Server. Before using this API, ensure that you have the permission to create a task and the task configuration parameters meet the requirements. After the creation, the Lite Server task is created, and the task ID and other related information are returned. If you do not have the required permission, the parameters are incorrect, or the system resources are insufficient, the API returns an error message.

Debugging

You can debug this API through automatic authentication in API Explorer or use the SDK sample code generated by API Explorer.
