Cancel your pending segment action. An action already running cannot be cancelled.
Required permissions:
POST https://api.voicecheap.ai/v1/actions/segment_actions_cancel
Authentication and permissions
string
required
Send a VoiceCheap API key in this header. Authorization: Bearer with the same API key is also supported. OAuth access tokens are accepted only by
MCP, not by this REST endpoint.
translations:write.
An active paid subscription is required. Permissions do not change team roles, resource ownership, media credits, or plan limits.
Parameters
string
required
Text value.Minimum length: 1. Maximum length: 200. Pattern:
^[^/\\]+$.string
required
Text value.Format: “uuid”. Pattern:
^([0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[1-8][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89abAB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}|00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000|ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff)$.string
Optional at the transport boundary: the server injects an identifier before validation when omitted. Supply your own stable UUID v4 to recover safely from a lost response.Format: “uuid”. Pattern:
^[0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-4[0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89abAB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}$.Complete input schema

Idempotency
Use a UUID v4 in requestId or the Idempotency-Key HTTP header for each mutation. Reuse the same identifier and identical arguments after a network failure. If both are supplied, they must match. Replaying a saved request does not repeat the operation or charge another monthly call. Failed or interrupted requests are not restarted automatically. Every mutation can return HTTP 202 when a retry finds the same request still running, even when its first execution is normally synchronous. If execution completed but resultStored is false, a retry returns HTTP 200 with saved request state instead of the original result. Retrieve the output through its domain history, result, or download action.Request examples
Replace example resource identifiers and media keys with values returned for your account. Keep the request identifier stable when retrying the same mutation.curl --request POST 'https://api.voicecheap.ai/v1/actions/segment_actions_cancel' \

Response
A successful first execution returns HTTP 200 with the operation result under data. A replay may return saved request state instead. The example shows one supported response, not every optional field. Returns the full updated queue snapshot after cancelling a still-queued action.{

Result fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
data.projectId | Parent project identifier. |
data.revision | Queue snapshot revision. This is independent of projects_get.segmentStructureRevision. |
data.items | Project action progress: job identifiers, action metadata, state, timestamps and optional public errorCode. |
data.items[].id | Job identifier; equals the original queue submission requestId. |
data.items[].action | Action metadata only: type, segmentIndex, and optional workId, translatedVersionId and source. Submitted text, timing values and regeneration instructions are not returned. |
data.items[].status | queued, running, completed, failed, or cancelled. |
data.items[].createdAt | Queue item creation time in Unix milliseconds. |
data.items[].startedAt | Optional first start time in Unix milliseconds. |
data.items[].finishedAt | Optional terminal time in Unix milliseconds. |
data.items[].errorCode | Optional public failure code. Unclassified failures use ACTION_FAILED. |
data.items[].seenAt | Optional acknowledgement time for the authenticated viewer only. |
Recover and poll this request
Use the same identifier even after a lost connection. If resultStored is false, retrieve the output through the corresponding history, result, or download action. Never start a second generation merely to check progress.curl --request POST 'https://api.voicecheap.ai/v1/actions/action_request_get' \

Operation notes
- jobId identifies the queue item to cancel; requestId is a separate stable UUID v4 for the cancellation request.
- Only a queued item can become cancelled. Running, completed and failed items cannot be cancelled. Cancelling an already-cancelled item returns the current snapshot.
- The handler returns projectId, revision and items directly; there is no success boolean or nested queue field.
- A cancellation does not refund completed generation or stop media work already running.
- Queue responses, including submission, cancellation, polling and replay, contain action metadata only. Read transcript content with transcripts_get and the required transcription:read permission.
