Cancel inference run

Viewing v1— superseded by v2

POST
/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/inferences/{inference_id}/cancel
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.app.layer.ai/api/v1/workspaces/:workspace_id/inferences/:inference_id/cancel \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

v1 is superseded. v1 was superseded by v2 on 2026-08-26. A sunset date has not been announced yet; v1 will be deprecated as a whole before removal. Migrate with the v2 migration guide.

Request cancellation of an in-flight inference. Fire-and-forget: returns immediately after signalling the run to stop. Poll GET /workspaces/{workspace_id}/inferences/{inference_id} for the eventual CANCELLED status. A run that already COMPLETED can no longer be cancelled and returns INFERENCE_ALREADY_COMPLETE; the other terminal states are idempotent no-ops.

workspace_id
required
Workspace Id

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

string format: uuid

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

inference_id
required
Inference Id

Id of the generation.

Idempotency-Key
string
<= 255 characters

Opaque key making a retry of this request return the first result. A 2xx response is replayed for 24 hours with Idempotent-Replayed: true. A 4xx releases the key. A 5xx, or a request still running, holds the key for 120 seconds, during which a retry gets 409; after that a retry executes again. The key covers the method, path, query, and byte-identical body it was first used with; reusing it for a different request is rejected with 422. Protection is best effort: if the key store is unavailable, or a record is lost early, a retry can execute again even after an earlier 409. See the Idempotency section of the API description.
