Switch the scan profile

How to switch the Snyk API and Web scan profile

Switch between different scan profiles for your targets.

Snyk API & Web provides a variety of scan profiles that you can choose from, depending on how thoroughly you want to scan your target.

For example, you can run a Normal scan on your target to start with, then run a Full scan later after fixing some vulnerabilities. You can also run a Safe scan at a specific time to reduce the possible impact on your target. To do any of this, switch the scan profile before you start a new scan.

Switch scan profile in the Web UI

To switch the scan profile in the Snyk API & Web interface:

  1. Access your target settings and click the Profile tab. Snyk displays a list of all available scan profiles according to your target's type and current verification state.

  2. Choose the scan profile you want and click Save.

The next scan uses the selected profile.

Switch scan profile using the API

If you are using the Snyk API & Web API, you can also send a different scan profile in the request the next time you start a target scan. Learn more in the API documentation.
