Issue with Metadata Scanner API

Hi Everyone,
I need some assistance with Metadata scanner API which was working properly when we had under 100 workspaces. Now we have over 100 workspaces and even after breaking them down into chunks of 100 workspaces, everytime I check for a scan status I get failed status.

 

I am able to get scan id, whenever I check for scan status, it shows running and returns failed after a bit. I have tried using just one workspace and still getting the same results. I have admin rights and using a Bearer token to access the API.  Can someone please assist here.

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

I think they may be related to the limitation of API response size, you can try to reduce the trace ranges to confirm this.

In addition, you can take a look at the official document limitations part if help:
