# Stop Measurements

Measurements can be stopped by sending a DELETE verb to the URL of the measurement you want to stop. For example, if you want to stop the measurement with msm_id 2034345, you will have to send a DELETE verb to: https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/2034305.

You can only stop measurements that you've created yourself or that you have an API key for (and which has permissions to stop measurements). In the first case, you will have to be logged in with a session-based cookie.
