#### Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Bearer authentication header of the form `Bearer <token>`, where `<token>` is your auth token.

#### Path Parameters

id

string

required

Response id (`resp_<...>`)

#### Response

The cancel request was accepted; the run is being cancelled.

response\_id

string

required

The response id (`resp_<...>`).

status

enum\<string>

required

Always `cancelling` - the cancel was accepted and the run stops asynchronously. An already-terminal run returns `400` instead, so no terminal status appears here.

Available options:

`cancelling`
