DELETE /jobs/[ID] ​

Description ​

Delete a job specified by ID. The behavior of this call depends on the status of the job:

  1. If the job specified by ID is not yet done (i.e., in QUEUED or PROCESSING state), the job is cancelled and no output files will be produced.
  2. If the job was already performed (i.e., in SUCCESS or FAILURE state), deleting the job will also delete all associated meta-data and binary data for the output files created as part of the job. Note that this includes the output files' contents (unless the output files were externally uploaded onto your own storage).
