The source library.
The primary references behind the scanner field notes. These are independent sources—not partnerships, endorsements, or a list of hosted ScannerAPI.com services.
Use the original documentation to verify a protocol detail, inspect a provider’s response model, or understand a project’s recommended controls. The field notes build suggested workflows around those references; the source remains the authority on its own documented interface.
Account-specific access, supported formats, configuration, quotas, and sharing terms must be checked with the provider. A reference below explains its stated topic and does not establish an independent performance claim.
RFC 9110: HTTP 202 Accepted
The HTTP specification distinguishes acceptance for processing from completion. The workflow above is a suggested integration design, not a hosted ScannerAPI.com endpoint.
