Initiate a scan to look for a currently unobserved service at a specific IP and port (ip:port
) or hostname and port (hostname:port
). This is equivalent to the Live Discovery feature available in the UI, but you can also target web properties in addition to hosts.
The scan may take several minutes to complete. The response will contain a scan ID that you can use to monitor the scan's status. After the scan completes, perform a lookup on the target asset to retrieve detailed scan information.
