I am able to run an orchestration job via the “run” API endpoint. Is it possible to run a shared job via the API? This option doesn’t appear to be available. Thanks

I dont think you can run a shared job directly using an API. The Best approach is to call the shared job using a specific Orchestration job and call it directly using API call.
