Overview

This node operation stops a specific crawl job in the ScrapegraphAI system. It is useful when you want to halt an ongoing web crawling process identified by its unique crawl job ID. For example, if a crawl job is running longer than expected or you need to stop it due to changes in requirements, this operation allows you to do so by specifying the crawl job to stop.

Use Case Examples

1. Stopping a crawl job by selecting it from a list of active crawls.
2. Stopping a crawl job by providing its UUID directly.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The JSON output contains the result of the stop operation, typically including confirmation or status information about the stopped crawl job.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for ScrapegraphAI to authenticate and authorize the stop operation.

Troubleshooting

• If the crawl ID is invalid or not found, the node will throw an error indicating the crawl job could not be located. Ensure the crawl ID is a valid UUID and corresponds to an existing crawl job.
• If the API key credential is missing or invalid, authentication errors will occur. Verify that the correct API key is configured in the node credentials.
• Network or API service issues may cause the stop operation to fail. Check network connectivity and ScrapegraphAI service status.
