GET/api/v1/data-discovery/scans

List data-discovery scans

Lists `data_scans` job rows for an org — one row per discovery scan with status (queued/running/completed/failed/cancelled/partial), start/finish times, objects and bytes scanned, findings and error counts, progress percent, and the `findings_by_type` classification aggregate (e.g. `{email:12, ssn:3, credit_card:7}`). Individual sensitive-data hits live in `data_findings` and are not returned here; there is no schema-drift detection. `orgId` is required (query param or the API key's own org) else 400 MISSING_ORG_ID. Optional filters `source_id` and `status`; `limit` defaults to 50 and is capped at 500. Newest first by `started_at`.
