# Execute Pipeline

You can initiate a Catalyst pipeline run by passing the pipeline ID and the branch name as parameters to the `run_pipeline()` method. You can also pass environment variables required for the pipeline execution in a JSON object to this method, and it is completely optional. This method returns the execution history details of the pipeline as the response.

The `pipelines_service` reference used below is already defined in [this component instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/nodejs/v2/pipelines/get-pipeline-instance). 

```python
execution_details = pipelines_service.run_pipeline("18014000000023048", "main", {"EVENT": "push","URL":"https://www.google.com"})

```

A sample response is shown below:

```python
{
 "status": "success",
 "data": {
 "history_id": "5000000021007",
 "pipeline_id": "18014000000023048",
 "event_time": "Mar 20, 2024 02:02 PM",
 "event_details": {
 "BRANCH_NAME": "main",
 "EVENT": "push",
 "URL": "https://www.google.com"
 },
 "history_status": "Queued"
 }
}
