Start/Stop Continuous Azure WebJobs from Website or on call of WebAPI

I have a Continuous WebJob published on my Azure Portal which performs some tasks. I want to run this WebJob on call of WebAPI & WebAPI should not wait for the response, it should run WebJob in the background. I have created one WebAPI & tried to call my WebJob but it is showing nothing.

WebAPI WebJobController.cs code:

public class WebJobController : ApiController
{
    public void CallWebJob()
    {
        try 
        { 
            //App Service Publish Profile Credentials 
            string username = "userName"; //userName 
            string password = "userPWD"; //userPWD 

            string URL = "https://"+username+":"+password+"@reportjobprocess.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/continuouswebjobs/ContinuousReportServiceWebJob/run";
            System.Net.WebRequest request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(URL); 
            request.Method = "GET"; 
            request.ContentLength = 0; 
            request.GetResponseAsync(); 
            Console.WriteLine("OK");  //no response 
        } 
        catch (Exception ex) 
        { 
            Console.WriteLine("Something went wrong: " + ex.Message.ToString()); 
        }
    }
}

I'm totally new to WebJob & WebAPI. Please help.

You could use WebJobs API to start/stop WebJob.

Start:wiki

POST /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}/start

Stop:wiki

POST /api/continuouswebjobs/{job name}/stop

If you want to invoke triggered webjob you could use this. It doesn't support stop triggered job.

If you still have other questions, please let me know.

Update : about credentials you could refer to this.
