Registering a Job Kill Order

Problem

You want to kill a process associated with a content item.

Solution

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.

Python
R

from posit import connect

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

client = connect.Client()
client.delete(f"v1/content/{CONTENT_ITEM_GUID}/jobs/{JOB_KEY}")

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)
