When to use: Use this endpoint when you need to stop an extraction job that is currently running. This is useful if:
  • You started an extraction job by mistake
  • The extraction is taking longer than expected and you want to stop it
  • You need to free up resources for other operations
Cancellation Requirements: You can only cancel executions that are currently running (status "running").
  • If an execution has already completed or failed, it cannot be canceled
  • Executions that are waiting for a crawl to complete (status "pending" with waiting_for in meta) cannot be canceled until they start running
  • The endpoint will return an error if you attempt to cancel a non-running execution
