Terraform
Admin Runs API
Terraform Enterprise Only: The admin API is exclusive to Terraform Enterprise, and can only be used by the admins and operators who install and maintain their organization's Terraform Enterprise instance.
The Runs Admin API contains endpoints to help site administrators manage runs.
List all runs

A comma-separated list of Run statuses to restrict results to, which can include any of the following: "pending", "plan_queued", "planning", "planned", "confirmed", "apply_queued", "applying", "applied", "discarded", "errored", "canceled", "cost_estimating", "cost_estimated", "policy_checking", "policy_override", "policy_soft_failed", "policy_checked", and "planned_and_finished". |

Force a run into the "cancelled" state
POST /admin/runs/:id/actions/force-cancel
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
:id | The ID of the run to cancel. |
This endpoint forces a run (and its plan/apply, if applicable) into the "canceled" state. This action should only be performed for runs that are stuck and no longer progressing normally, as there is a risk of lost state data if a progressing apply is force-canceled. Healthy runs can be requested for cancellation by end-users.
| Status | Response | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | JSON API document (type: "runs") | Successfully canceled the run. |
| 404 | JSON API error object | Run not found, or client is not an administrator. |
Request body
This POST endpoint allows an optional JSON object with the following properties as a request payload.
| Key path | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
comment | string | null | An optional explanation for why the run was force-canceled. |
Sample Payload
{
"comment": "This run was stuck and would never finish."
}
