# Cancel Job

`DELETE /v1/jobs/{job_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.empiriolabs.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.empiriolabs.ai/v1/jobs/{job_id}`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/empiriolabs/apis/empiriolabs-gateway/docs/v1/jobs/:job_id/delete.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Best-effort cancel of an async job.

If the job has already completed/failed, this is a no-op (returns
the current row). The upstream worker call may have already finished
by the time the cancel arrives — that's expected behavior. Cross-
account cancels return 404 (same as `get_job_status`).

## Path parameters

- `job_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
