If the task finishes in time, you get the result immediately. **Structure:** ```json theme={null} { "success": true, "sessionId": "a1b2c3d4e5f6", "taskId": "x9y8z7w6v5u4", "type": "task_completed", "data": { "message": "Successfully completed the search", "files": [ { "source": "https://example.com/report.zip", "downloadUrl": "https://blobs.webrun.ai/files/report.zip", "filename": "report.zip", "timestamp": 1771138379108 } ], "network": [ { "id": "tevo9", "taskId": "x9y8z7w6v5u4", "urls": [ { "url": "https://example.com/api/data", "timestamp": 1771138379087.646 } ] } ] }, "usage": { "prompt_tokens": 12450, "completion_tokens": 3200, "total_tokens": 15650, "completion_time": 23.5, "cost": 0.0124 } } ``` **Response Fields:** | Field | Type | Description | | --------------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | `success` | boolean | Request success indicator | | `sessionId` | string | Session identifier | | `taskId` | string | Task identifier | | `type` | string | Result type: `"task_completed"` | | `data` | object | Task result data | | `data.message` | string | Task completion message | | `data.files` | array | Files downloaded during task execution (optional) | | `data.files[].source` | string | Original URL the file was downloaded from | | `data.files[].downloadUrl` | string | WebRun-hosted URL to download the file | | `data.files[].filename` | string | Name of the downloaded file | | `data.files[].timestamp` | number | Unix timestamp (ms) when the file was downloaded | | `data.network` | array | Network requests captured during task execution (optional) | | `data.network[].id` | string | Unique identifier for the network entry | | `data.network[].taskId` | string | Task that generated the network activity | | `data.network[].urls` | array | URLs requested in this network entry | | `data.network[].urls[].url` | string | Full URL of the network request | | `data.network[].urls[].timestamp` | number | Unix timestamp (ms) of the request | | `usage` | object | Usage and billing information | | `usage.prompt_tokens` | number | Input tokens used | | `usage.completion_tokens` | number | Output tokens generated | | `usage.total_tokens` | number | Total tokens used | | `usage.completion_time` | number | Execution time in seconds | | `usage.cost` | number | Cost in USD | *** ### Pending Results (> 50 seconds) For longer tasks, the response returns immediately with a poll URL. **Structure:** ```json theme={null} { "success": true, "sessionId": "a1b2c3d4e5f6", "taskId": "x9y8z7w6v5u4", "status": "pending", "pending": true, "pollUrl": "https://connect.webrun.ai/task/a1b2c3d4e5f6/x9y8z7w6v5u4", "message": "Task still running.
