# Cancel Execution

> Cancel a triggered execution request given the execution ID

You must pass the `execution_id` obtained from making an [execute query](/api-reference/executions/endpoint/execute-query) POST request.

Result returns a boolean for whether the execution is successfully canceled.

  ```bash cURL

  curl -X POST -H x-dune-api-key:{{api_key}} "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/execution/{{execution_id}}/cancel"
