One request gives a task

Every request goes to https://core.thelittleworker.com/api/v1 with your key and the version it was written for. The worker starts at once, and the task is in the app too.

curl https://core.thelittleworker.com/api/v1/tasks \
  -H "x-api-key: $LITTLE_WORKER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Little-Worker-Version: 2026-10-19" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "worker_id": "worker_...", "text": "Sum up the sales from last week." }'
