Web Crawler API
Pause the Web Crawler
Temporarily halt crawler processes while keeping the cron schedule intact. The crawler will automatically resume on the next scheduled cron tick.
Endpoint
GET https://opensolr.com/solr_manager/api/pause_crawl
Parameters
| Parameter | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
email | Required | Your Opensolr registration email address |
api_key | Required | Your Opensolr API key |
core_name | Required | The name of the index to pause the crawler for |
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.
