In this article, you'll learn:
- When the scan payload API can be helpful
- How to send data to the payload API
- Where to view the results from a scan payload
BigID can connect to hundreds of different data sources. Writing your own connectors opens your system to scan anything. However, if you want to just scan a single piece of information, writing your own connector could be time intensive. The scan payload api allows you to scan single payloads of data into your system without a connector.
