# Scan Inventory

`POST /api/v2/Inventory/scan`

Trigger a [resource scan](https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticnapp/latest/administration-guide/744719/resource-inventory). By default, FortiCNAPP scans cloud integrations in order to generate or update its resource inventory [once a day](https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticnapp/latest/administration-guide/807088/general#resource-management-collection-schedule). This endpoint lets you trigger scans manually. This endpoint is useful, for example, after you have onboarded a new cloud integration and want to start collecting and evaluating resources from the system immediately. Manual scans can be run one hour after the last scan has completed.

  > `curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  "https://YourAccount.lacework.net/api/v2/Inventory/scan?csp=AWS"  -H "Authorization: Bearer YourAPIToken"`
