# Execute a Circuit

> **Note:** Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/serverless/functions/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

The following code snippet details executing a circuit by referring to its unique [Circuit ID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/circuits/implementation/#create-a-circuit) and passing key-value pairs as the input JSON to the circuit. It also illustrates obtaining the circuit’s execution details by referring to its unique [Execution ID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/serverless/help/circuits/implementation/#execute-a-circuit) saved in the execution history of the circuit.

The `circuit` reference used below is defined in the [component instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/serverless/circuits/get-circuit-instance/).

> **Note:** Circuits is currently not available to Catalyst users accessing from the EU, AU, IN, JP, SA, or CA data centers.

```javascript
// Get a instance for Circuit
const circuit = new Circuits();
// execute the circuit
const executeCircuitResponse = await circuit.execute('195000000041001','sampleName',{name:'Aaron Jones'});
console.log(executeCircuitResponse);
// get the circuit status
const circuitStatusResponse = await circuit.status('195000000041001','195000000043002');
console.log(circuitStatusResponse);
// abort the running circuit
const circuitAbortResponse = await circuit.abort('195000000041001','195000000043002');
console.log(circuitAbortResponse);

```
