SproutGigs adds agent controls
SproutGigs upgraded its API with new controls for agent orchestration and automated workflows, explicitly supporting business automation like invoice recognition—illustrating APIs shifting from data pipes to programmable agentic surfaces. The change reflects a vendor trend of exposing orchestration primitives to developers via API. (activefeatured.com)
SproutGigs distributed a formal API update announcement on April 1, 2026 through a King Newswire/press-release feed. (kingnewswire.com) The public API documentation enumerates new endpoints named Set Daily Tasks Limit and Set Distribution and shows lifecycle controls including Pause Job, Resume Job, Restart Job, Stop Job and Feature Job, plus predicted-position and speed-control endpoints. (sproutgigs.com) SproutGigs’ API is described as JSON-based at the base endpoint requires Basic authentication via base64(user_id:api_secret), and applies a rate limit of 1 request per second. (sproutgigs.com) The company’s release and documentation state the platform taps a global worker pool measured in “hundreds of thousands” and explicitly calls out human-review workflows for validating LLM outputs and other AI-generated content. (kingnewswire.com) Third-party tooling already surfaces SproutGigs as a callable tool for AI agent flows—Relevance AI documents pre-built SproutGigs tool steps (e.g., PDF compression, barcode reading) that can be incorporated into agent orchestration. (relevanceai.com) SproutGigs completed a public rebrand from Picoworkers on August 15, 2025, and maintains a company profile on Crunchbase describing its microtask marketplace footprint. (accessnewswire.com) The API docs mark the gigs endpoints as preliminary/Beta and include an operational note that accounts depositing over $1,000 in crypto can request auto-approval for posts, a gating detail relevant to programmatic enterprise onboarding.
