# cancelRequest(withRequestID:)

Cancels an asynchronous request

## Declaration

```swift
class func cancelRequest(withRequestID requestID: PHLivePhotoRequestID)
```

## Parameters

- `requestID`: The numeric identifier of the request to be canceled.

## Discussion

Discussion When you use the request(withResourceFileURLs:placeholderImage:targetSize:contentMode:resultHandler:) method to asynchronously load a Live Photo from resource files, the method returns a numeric identifier for the request. To cancel the request before it completes, provide the identifier when calling the cancelRequest(withRequestID:) method.
