Updating and Stopping Measurements ​

Stopping a Measurement ​

Stop a measurement by sending a DELETE request to its URL:

shell
curl -X DELETE \
  -H "Authorization: Key YOUR-KEY" \
  https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/2034345/

You can only stop measurements that you created, or measurements for which you have an API key with stop permissions.

Updating a Measurement ​

Some measurement attributes can be modified after creation using a PATCH request:

shell
curl -X PATCH \
  -H "Authorization: Key YOUR-KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"description": "Updated description"}' \
  https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/2034345/
