	 "Strategy": "All"

}

here is response.

Hello!

It seems that you are using a Modern Folder, which does not contain Robots in the same manner as Classic Folders: Robots

In the case of Modern Folders, you don’t need to specify the RobotID, but you should change the Strategy field to ModernJobsCount: Starting a job through API on a modern folder - #2 by Mateus_Cruz

Thank you, this worked fine.

Can you please provide suggestion, what is best approach - Classic folder or modern folder? especially when we deploy this to production?

I’d suggest Modern Folders, as they have advantages that make deployments much more scalable and easier to manage: Classic folders vs modern folders

Excellent thanks a lot. Appreciate your help.
