You can issue calls to the Heroku API to achieve this. It uses OAuth to authorize the requests.

See the docs for Heroku Plartform API or check out the workless gem for an example. The workless gem starts and stops worker dynos on demand to save you dyno hours.

The workless gem uses environment variables to store OAuth key/token; to manage more than one application it will make sense to store this information in a database.
