Result
Creates a job for the X account's VPS. REST waits up to wait seconds (default 15, max 20): when done it returns 200 with the result, otherwise 202 with Location: /api/public/v1/jobs/{job_id}. The final status is succeeded, failed, cancelled or unknown.
Needs an idempotency key (Idempotency-Key, 8–128 characters). Retrying with the same key never repeats the action.
This deletes data or can't be undone. Ask the person before calling it.
A job that ends unknown may already have happened on X: never resend it with a new idempotency key.
