SamWheating opened a new issue #18816: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/18816
### Description I'd like to be able to trigger backfills remotely through a REST API endpoint - there's already support for triggering a single DAGRun so why not multiple? This would involve creating a new endpoint (maybe under `/dags/<dag_id>/backfills) which would handle the same parameters as the `airflow dag backfill` CLI command. A coworker and I would be happy to build out this functionality, but I'd like to collect input from the community and core maintainers before we start. ### Use case/motivation We use a custom CLI built on top of the Airflow REST API for doing some basic Airflow operations via from the command line - It would be awesome if we could include support for triggering backfills remotely. ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a PR? - [X] Yes I am willing to submit a PR! ### Code of Conduct - [X] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
