GEThttps://toolswitch.dev/v1/tools/diffbot.x.crawl-managePreview

Uses platform quota
Synchronous response
Reads public data

Parameters

different HOST than base_url — api.diffbot.com. Omitting every param lists the account's jobs and mutates nothing, which is what makes this one safely callable; each of pause/restart/delete/roundStart is a WRITE on a real job

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
Query parameters
`name`	string	Optional	specific job name; omit to list all jobs
`pause`	integer	Optional	1 to pause, 0 to resume
`delete`	integer	Optional	1 to permanently remove the job
`restart`	integer	Optional	1 to restart — erases prior data
`roundStart`	integer	Optional	1 to manually trigger a new crawl cycle
