Pause the Web Crawler

Pauses a running web crawler by stopping its processes, but keeps the cron schedule intact. The crawler will automatically resume on the next scheduled cron tick.

  1. GET https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/pause_crawl
  2. Parameters:
    1. email - (required) your opensolr registration email address
    2. api_key - (required) your opensolr api_key
    3. core_name - (required) the name of the index you wish to pause the web crawler for
  3. Example: https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/pause_crawl?email=PLEASE_LOG_IN&
    api_key=PLEASE_LOG_IN&core_name=my_solr_core

Note: Unlike Stop, Pause does not remove the cron schedule. The crawler will restart automatically on the next scheduled cron tick. Use this when you want to temporarily halt crawling without losing your schedule.
