# Stopping a Job

You can stop a running scraper job at any time using its `jobId`. This is useful if you submitted a job with wrong parameters or no longer need the data.

## Stop Request

<Info>
  Only active jobs (`in_progress`)
</Info>

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl --request DELETE \
    --url 'https://api.hasdata.com/scrapers/jobs/:jobId' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'x-api-key: <your-api-key>'
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const axios = require('axios').default;

  const options = {
    method: 'DELETE',
    url: 'https://api.hasdata.com/scrapers/jobs/:jobId',
    headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-api-key': '<your-api-key>'}
  };

  try {
    const { data } = await axios.request(options);
    console.log(data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
  ```

  	req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")
  	req.Header.Add("x-api-key", "<your-api-key>")

  	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
  	defer res.Body.Close()

  	body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
  	fmt.Println(string(body))
  }
  ```

## Behavior

<Warning>
  If the job is still running, all in-progress pages will finish scraping, but no new pages will be started.
</Warning>

* Any data collected up to that point is preserved and can still be fetched.
* Credits are only charged for successfully scraped pages, even if the job was stopped early.
* If the job has already finished or failed, the stop request has no effect.

## Response Example
