Scans
Soda Cloud API Scan Endpoints
This endpoint enables you to execute a scan that has been defined within Soda Cloud and which runs on a Soda Agent connected to the account. Call this endpoint from within your data pipeline to programmatically execute scans from outside the Soda Cloud environment.
This POST uses the following parameters to provide specific details:
scanDefinition: Supply a string value to specify the scan definition in Soda Cloud. To retrieve this value, navigate to the Scans page in Soda Cloud, then select the scan definition you wish to execute remotely and copy the scan name, which is the smaller text under the label. For example,weekday_scan_schedule. The scan definition must be connected to a Soda Agent in order to execute a scan remotely, not Soda Library.dataTimestamp: (Optional) Supply a value to indicate a specific timestamp for the scan for Soda Cloud. For example, provide a time in the past so that although Soda executes the scan when you call the endpoint, it timestamps the scan with the value you provide so that it appears in the user interface with your supplied timestamp value, not the time at which it actually executed the scan. Supply an ISO8601 timestamp value such as:2023-12-31T10:15:30+01:00. If you do not specify a value, Soda uses the current moment to timestamp the scan.
The Response of this call, when successful, is 201 and contains headers Location and X-Soda-Scan-Id which identify the executed scan. Use the value of X-Soda-Scan-Id in the scanId parameter of the Get scan status, Get scan logs, and Cancel a scan endpoints.
