Validations

Stop validation

Stop a live validation run: keep what it answered and refund the rest.

POSTapi.leadity.io/v1/validations/{id}/stop

Scope writeMCP tool stop_validation

Stops a queued or running validation run. It settles on what has been answered and refunds the rest at once; items not answered stay unanswered and cost nothing. A stopped run cannot be resumed, and one that is already final answers not_running. Needs a key with the write scope.

Example response

Errors

Every refusal answers { error, message } with the status below. The full list is on the Errors page.

Code	Status	Meaning	Extra fields
unauthorized	401	The API key is missing, malformed, revoked or expired.	-
wrong_key_kind	401	This key opens the other surface: an API key works on the HTTP API, an MCP key on the MCP server.	-
insufficient_scope	403	The key does not carry the scope this operation needs.	`requiredScope`: The scope the operation needs: read, write or spend.
account_suspended	403	The account is suspended.	-
email_not_verified	403	The account's email address is not verified yet.	-
invalid_body	400	The request does not match the operation's schema.	`issues`: The problems found, each with path (the field as a dotted path, led by the part of the request it travels in: path, query or body, such as body.items.1) and message (what is wrong there).
not_found	404	No such resource on this account.	`id`: On export_scrapes: the first id that is not one of the account's scrapes.
not_running	409	The validation run is already final. The body carries its status.	`status`: The run's final status.
rate_limited	429	Too many requests. Wait for the Retry-After seconds and try again.	`retryAfterSeconds`: The seconds to wait, the same number as the Retry-After header.
try_again	503	Leadity could not answer just now. Retry in a moment, with the same Idempotency-Key on a spending call.	`retryAfterSeconds`: When a request with this Idempotency-Key is still being processed: the seconds to wait before retrying with the same key, as the Retry-After header says.
internal_error	500	Something failed on our side. Nothing was charged twice.	`body`: On the MCP server, when Leadity answered in a shape the tool does not publish: that answer as it came.
