# Stop Blocking Snapshot

`POST /sources/stop_blocking_snapshot`

Stop a blocking snapshot for the specified source.

This endpoint stops an in-progress blocking snapshot by restarting the connector.
The snapshot will be marked as cancelled and streaming will resume.

## Request body

- ExecuteBlockingSnapshotBody — Execute Blocking Snapshot Body. Blocking snapshots pause streaming during the snapshot operation and use Debezium's initial snapshot process. They are useful for: - Snapshotting keyless tables (which incremental snapshots cannot handle) - Snapshotting large tables faster than incremental snapshots - Adding new tables while the connector is running Note: additional_conditions filters are not supported for blocking snapshots.
  - `source_id` string, required
  - `topic_names` string[], nullable
