Dear All,

I wanted to schedule my AWX workflow from backend using REST Api, I see there are good documentation, I am looking for an sample script to schedule a workflow and make it run once.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. Regards  
Nilesh

Perform the operation via the UI and watch the chrome networking tab for the API requests issued. The UI is a consumer of the API. You should be able to repeat that process with requests/URI/automation.

Thank you all for the pointers.  
That should help and keep me going. I see different rrule in the documentation example, but I do not see run once which I can see from UI, am I missing something.?
