## Stop the active reindex or backfill `POST /api/subgraphs/{name}/stop` (self-hosted instances only) Takes no body. Flags the queued or running operation for cancellation; the processor stops it at its next checkpoint and marks it `cancelled`. A stopped backfill resumes from its checkpoint when the same range is queued again. ### Path parameters | Name | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `name` | string, required | Subgraph name, as deployed. Lowercase letters, digits and hyphens. | ### Responses - `200` Stop requested - `400` A parameter, filter, cursor or body field was refused; `code` says which - `401` This bind requires the instance token, and it was missing or wrong - `404` No subgraph by this name (`SUBGRAPH_NOT_FOUND`), or nothing queued or running to stop (`NO_OPERATION`) - `415` Missing or non-JSON `Content-Type` (`UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE`) — writes must send `Content-Type: application/json` ### Example ```bash curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3800/api/subgraphs/{name}/stop \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $INSTANCE_TOKEN" ``` ```json { "message": "Stop requested for \"sbtc-flows\"", "operationId": "3f1c9a52-7d4e-4b8a-9e21-5c0d8f6a2b17", "status": "cancel_requested" } ```
