# Cancel threat case

> Cancel a threat case in alert monitoring.

**Deprecated.** This operation is kept for existing integrations; avoid it in new code.

```http
POST https://api2.rhombussystems.com/api/alertmonitoring/cancelThreatCase
```

EU organizations send the same request to `https://api2.eu.rhombussystems.com`.

## Authentication and parameters

- `x-auth-apikey` (header, required): Your Rhombus API key. Must be accompanied by the `x-auth-scheme` header set to `api-token` (or `partner-api-token` for partner endpoints).
- `Authorization` (header): instead of an API key, an OAuth access token (`Bearer <token>`) with the `write` scope.
- `x-auth-scheme` (header, string, default: `api-token`): Authentication scheme identifier. Use `api-token` or `partner-api-token` with the `x-auth-apikey` header, `api` or `partner-api` with `x-auth-apikey` plus a client certificate, `api-oauth-token` or `partner-api-oauth-token` with `x-auth-access-token`, and `federated-token` with `x-auth-ft`. A request with `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and no `x-auth-scheme` is treated as OAuth, and `federated-token` may also be sent as the `x-auth-scheme` and `x-auth-ft` query parameters. One of: `api-token`, `api`, `api-oauth-token`, `federated-token`, `partner-api-token`, `partner-api`, `partner-api-oauth-token`.
- `x-auth-org` (header, string<RUUID>): Client organization UUID (22-character RUUID), for partner credentials only. With it the call runs in that client organization with the partner support authority's role. Without it a partner credential runs as the partner organization, which outside the partner endpoints is deprecated (responses carry `Deprecation` and `Sunset: Tue, 05 Jan 2027 00:00:00 GMT`). A malformed value returns 400 `INVALID_AUTH_ORG`; a client organization the partner cannot access returns 403 `PARTNER_CLIENT_ACCESS_DENIED`.

## Request body

Content type: `application/json`. Request to cancel a threat case in alert monitoring.

- `authenticatePin` (boolean | null): When true, the server authenticates the provided PIN against the threat case's zone and rejects the request if authentication fails. Expected from clients that cannot identify their caller such as alarm pads.
- `pin` (string | null): Optional PIN used to authenticate this request and identify the initiating user or group. Only honored when authenticatePin is true; otherwise ignored.
- `uuid` (string<RUUID> | null, required): base 64 (url-safe) uuid string

## Response 200

OK. Content type: `application/json`

- `error` (boolean | null)
- `errorCode` (string | null): Stable, machine-readable code for the failure (one of the ApiErrorCode catalog) when error is true. Branch on this, not on errorMsg.
- `errorMsg` (string | null)
- `success` (boolean | null): Indicates whether the threat case cancellation was successful
- `warningMsg` (string | null)

## Errors

Also 400, 401, 403, 429, 500, 503 with the standard error body (`errorCode`, `errorMsg`): https://developer.rhombus.com/errors
