Is there a way to manually trigger modular inputs using the rest API. Most of the advice I've seen involves triggering mod inputs by turning them off then on, but my setup uses cron intervals instead of seconds so it doesn't execute on enablement.

Manually triggering a cron-scheduled input usually means re-scheduling the input for an upcoming time and the changing the schedule back to the original settings afterwards.
