Terminate a Job

Problem

You want to terminate a Job associated with your Content.

Solution

Important

This action requires owner, collaborator, or administrator privileges.

Python
R

Note

Requires posit-sdk>=0.6.0

First, obtain the content object. In this example, we get the content using it’s GUID. Then obtain the job using it’s key. Call the destroy method to request a job termination event. This event is asynchronous and will take a few moments to process.

from posit import connect

CONTENT_GUID = '154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9'
JOB_KEY = 'CwCoI9tizMRRcvLw'

client = connect.Client()
content = client.content.get(CONTENT_GUID)
job = content.jobs.find(JOB_KEY)
job.destroy()

Use the API to delete a job using its job key. You’ll need the GUID for the content item, and the job key associated with the job you wish to kill.

Get content GUID from the Dashboard’s Info tab, or by following Viewing Content Information.
To find the job key, see Viewing Jobs for Content.

library(connectapi)
library(httr)

CONTENT_ITEM_GUID <- "154bd2af-e8fa-4aa4-aab8-dcef701f4af9"
JOB_KEY <- "CwCoI9tizMRRcvLw"

client <- connect()
response <- client$DELETE(
    glue::glue("v1/content/{CONTENT_ITEM_GUID}/jobs/{JOB_KEY}"),
)

> print(response)
