### [Engine](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.engine)
|
|
|
|
Parameter: `engine`
|
|
|
|
This parameter defines the engine that powers the agent task.
|
|
|
|
- `skyvern-2.0`: this is the default engine. It's the latest Skyvern agent that performs really well with complex and multi-step tasks. It scores **state of the art** 85.85% on the [WebVoyager benchmark](https://blog.skyvern.com/skyvern-2-0-state-of-the-art-web-navigation-with-85-8-on-webvoyager-eval/).
|
|
- `skyvern-1.0`: performs really well for tasks with a simple goal, like filling a form, or searching for information on Google.
|
|
- `openai-cua`: uses OpenAI's CUA model.
|
|
- `anthropic-cua`: uses Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.7 model with the computer use tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### [Data Extraction Schema](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.data_extraction_schema)
|
|
|
|
Parameter: `data_extraction_schema`
|
|
|
|
The schema for data to be extracted from the webpage. If you're looking for consistent data schema being returned by the agent, it's highly recommended to use https://json-schema.org/.
|
|
|
|
### [Send Webhook](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.webhook_url)
|
|
|
|
Parameter: `webhook_url`
|
|
|
|
You can set the `webhook_url` to receive the update when the task is done. Check [Webhooks FAQ](/running-tasks/webhooks-faq) for more details.
|
|
|
|
### [Max Steps](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.max_steps)
|
|
|
|
Parameter: `max_steps`
|
|
|
|
Maximum number of steps the task can take. Task will fail if it exceeds this number. Caution: you are charged per step, so set this number to a reasonable value. Contact sales@skyvern.com for custom pricing.
|
|
|
|
### [Error Code Mapping](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.error_code_mapping)
|
|
|
|
Parameter: `error_code_mapping`
|
|
|
|
Custom mapping of error codes to error messages if Skyvern encounters an error.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
```json
|
|
[
|
|
{"login_failed": "The login credentials are incorrect or the account is locked"},
|
|
{"maintenance_mode": "The website is down for maintenance"},
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
With this mapping, if Skyvern encounters a login failure, the task output will show `{"error": "login_failed"}`, which makes it easy to codify error handling.
|
|
|
|
### [Proxy Location](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.proxy_location)
|
|
|
|
Parameter: `proxy_location`
|
|
|
|
Some websites block requests from certain countries. You can set a proxy location to route the browser traffic through.
|
|
|
|
### 2FA Support (TOTP)
|
|
- [totp_identifier](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.totp_identifier): Skyvern can receive the TOTP code and use this identifier to identify the code for authentication.
|
|
- [totp_url](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.totp_url): Skyvern makes a request to this URL to fetch the TOTP code when needed.
|
|
|
|
More details can be found in the [TOTP section](/credentials/totp).
|
|
|
|
### [Run Task In A Persistent Browser Session](/api-reference/api-reference/agent/run-task#request.body.browser_session_id)
|
|
Parameter: `browser_session_id`
|
|
|
|
You can set a browser session for a task. Having a browser session persist the real-time state of the browser, so that the next run can continue from where the previous run left off.
|
|
|
|
See the [Browser Sessions](/browser-sessions/introduction) section to see how to create a browser session. |
