# Cancelling an Additional IP service

:::info
Since October 6th, 2022 our service "Failover IP" is named [Additional IP](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/network/additional-ip/). This renaming has no effect on its technical features.
:::

## Objective

As any other OVHcloud service, an Additional IP service can be cancelled at any time.

:::info
At the moment, an Additional IP service cannot be cancelled from the OVHcloud Control Panel. This feature will be rolled out soon.
:::

**This guide explains how to cancel an Additional IP service via the OVHcloud API.**

## Requirements

- An [Additional IP service](https://www.ovhcloud.com/de/network/additional-ip/)
- Access to the [OVHcloud API console](https://eu.api.ovh.com/)
- Consulting the guide [First steps to use the OVHcloud API](/de/guides/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md) (to familiarise yourself with the OVHcloud API)

## Instructions

### Cancelling an Additional IP service via the API

Log in to the OVHcloud [API web page](https://eu.api.ovh.com/).

You first need to find out the name of the service you need to cancel. Use the following call:


🇪🇺EU▾

[GET/ip/service](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/ip&branch=v1#get-/ip/service)

To cancel the service, use the following API call:


🇪🇺EU▾

[POST/ip/service/{serviceName}/terminate](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=/ip&branch=v1#post-/ip/service/-serviceName-/terminate)

- `serviceName` : name of the Additional IP service obtained with the previous call.

You will then receive an email asking you to confirm the cancellation. After confirmation, the cancellation will be effective.
