The scan has not finished importing into an application at the time the call returns; if you have automation using this call,

make sure to use the legacy version or adjust your automation accordingly.

Changes in 2.5

The new Links section includes a link to the endpoint you can hit to check the status of the scan after it’s been added to the queue.
