Introduction
You can check the status of a scan using different API methods, depending on how the scan was triggered.
- If you started a scan using the Project Scan REST API, you’ll use a task ID to track progress.
- If a scan runs through a plugin (such as a generic scan plugin), you’ll use the Jobs REST API instead.
This helps you monitor scan progress, confirm completion, and integrate scan tracking into your workflows or automation.
Option 1: Check Scan Status for REST API-Triggered Scans
- Trigger a scan using the Project Scan API. The API response returns a task ID.
- Use the task ID to request the scan status. For example:
curl -X GET "http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT_NUMBER>/codeinsight/api/project/scanStatus/<TASK_ID>" \ -H "accept: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer <JWT>" - Review the response to determine the scan status.
Option 2: Check Scan Status for PlugIn-Triggered Scans
- Trigger a scan from a remote scan agent plugin
- Use the Jobs REST API to query recently completed scan jobs. For example:
curl -X GET "http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT_NUMBER>/codeinsight/api/jobs?jobType=Project%20Scan&status=Completed&projectId=<PROJ_ID>&triggeredBy=<USER>&jobsHistoryInDays=1&limit=1" \ -H "accept: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer <JWT>" - Review the response. If a job is returned, the scan is complete.
- If the project was scanned more than once recently, check other statuses:
- Waiting on Update
- Scheduled
- Active
- If no jobs appear for any of these statuses, the scan has finished.
After completing these steps, you’ll be able to determine whether a scan is still running, queued, or completed.
