Initiate a dependency bundle generation#

Description#

Starts the process to generate a Python dependency bundle for a script from its requirements.txt. This is a long-running operation.

The response includes a Location header (and an operationLocation field in the response body) that points to the operation polling endpoint. For more details on long-running job polling, see Operations endpoint.

A dependency generation is a run like any other, with type set to dependency. The operation’s resourceUrl points to it once it has been created. Retrieve it with GET /scripts/{scriptId}/runs/{runId}, list it alongside script runs with GET /scripts/{scriptId}/runs, and cancel it mid-flight with POST /scripts/{scriptId}/runs/{runId}/cancellation.

POST /scripts/{scriptId}/dependencies/generation
