# Cancel an in-progress import

`POST /v1/imports/{id}/cancel`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.memestack.ai`
- URL: `https://api.memestack.ai/v1/imports/{id}/cancel`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Owner only. Valid from any active status (awaiting_transfer, transferring, queued, running, draining). Already-processed images are left in place — only the remaining chunk chain stops. If the import was still mid-transfer, the R2 multipart upload session is aborted (best-effort).

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Cancelled.

- object
  - `ok` boolean
  - `status` 'cancelled'

## Other responses

- `404`: Import not found, or caller is not the owner.
- `409`: Import is already in a terminal state (completed, failed, cancelled, reverting, or reverted).
