# Pause Identity Monitoring Endpoint

`POST /api/v1/identities/{identity_id}/pause-monitoring`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.withverifa.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.withverifa.com/api/v1/identities/{identity_id}/pause-monitoring`
- Auth: none declared

Pause continuous AML monitoring on this identity.

Sets the identity's monitoring flag to FALSE with reason='manual' and
calls the underlying provider's disable_monitoring on the stored
search_id. Manual pauses are preserved across identity archive/restore
cycles — restoring an identity does NOT re-enable manually-paused
monitoring.

To bulk-disable monitoring across many identities, archive them
individually. The archive cascade pauses monitoring with
reason='archived' so a later restore re-enables it automatically.

## Path parameters

- `identity_id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `is_sandbox` boolean, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses
