Stop a running Campaign

Use the Stop Campaign API to stop an active SEM campaign with the specified Campaign ID. The unique Campaign ID is required to stop the campaign. Stopping a campaign does not delete it but deactivates it, preventing any further advertising spend or activity associated with it.
