API - Pause the Web Crawler

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.
