# stopRecord

This method is to stop a record that was previously started by [createRecord](https://emotiv.gitbook.io/cortex-api/records/createrecord). This will set the end date time of the record to the current date time.

## Parameters

| Name        | Type     | Required | Description                                                                                                            |
| ----------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| cortexToken | `string` | yes      | A token returned by [authorize](https://emotiv.gitbook.io/cortex-api/authentication/authorize).                        |
| session     | `string` | yes      | The session id you provided when you called [createRecord](https://emotiv.gitbook.io/cortex-api/records/createrecord). |

A record is linked to a session. So to close a record, you need to provide the session id.
