This use case scenario provides the Pipeline Scan REST API command and payload for canceling a scan.
Use this command to cancel a scan:
http --auth-type=veracode_hmac PUT "https://api.veracode.com/pipeline_scan/v1/scans/{scan_id}" < input.json
Obtain the scan_id from the response of the POST to the /scans endpoint as described in Configuring a Pipeline Scan with the REST API.
The API passes the JSON file that you populate with the necessary values as shown in this example payload:
{ "scan_status": "CANCELLED" }
