# Stop data frame analytics jobs

Availability: 7.3+

## Paths

- `POST` `/_ml/data_frame/analytics/{id}/_stop`

- [Api key auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/elasticsearch/authentication#apikeyauth)
- [Basic auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/elasticsearch/authentication#basicauth)
- [Bearer auth](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/4371/api/doc/elasticsearch/authentication#bearerauth)

#### Path Parameters

- `id` (string Id)
  Identifier for the data frame analytics job. This identifier can contain
lowercase alphanumeric characters (a-z and 0-9), hyphens, and
underscores. It must start and end with alphanumeric characters.

## Description

A data frame analytics job can be started and stopped multiple times
throughout its lifecycle.

## Required authorization

* Cluster privileges: `manage_ml`

## Query String Parameters

- `allow_no_match` (boolean · default: true)
  Specifies what to do when the request:

1. Contains wildcard expressions and there are no data frame analytics
jobs that match.
2. Contains the _all string or no identifiers and there are no matches.
3. Contains wildcard expressions and there are only partial matches.

The default value is true, which returns an empty data_frame_analytics
array when there are no matches and the subset of results when there are
partial matches. If this parameter is false, the request returns a 404
status code when there are no matches or only partial matches.
- `force` (boolean · default: false)
  If true, the data frame analytics job is stopped forcefully.
- `timeout` (string Duration · default: 20s)
  Controls the amount of time to wait until the data frame analytics job
stops. Defaults to 20 seconds.

## Request Body

`application/json`

- `id` (string Id) — optional
