}Stops a search job that is queued or currently running. Search jobs usually resolve in a few seconds, but a degraded upstream network can occasionally make one run much longer than normal — use this to stop waiting on it rather than polling indefinitely.
Cancelling a job that has already reached a terminal state (
completed or failed) returns a 400.
Example Request
curl -X DELETE https://api.spidra.io/api/search/abc-123 \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
import requests
requests.delete(
"https://api.spidra.io/api/search/abc-123",
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}
)
await fetch("https://api.spidra.io/api/search/abc-123", {
method: "DELETE",
headers: { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
});
Response
{
"status": "cancelled",
"jobId": "abc-123"
}
What Polling Sees After Cancelling
A search job has no separate “cancelled” job state — cancelling either removes it from the queue before it started, or signals the running job to stop at its next checkpoint (between search sources/attempts, not mid-request):- If the job hadn’t started yet, a subsequent GET /search/ returns 404 (
JOB_NOT_FOUND). - If the job was already running, it keeps reporting
status: "active"for a brief moment, then settles tostatus: "failed"witherror: "Search cancelled".
