Using the scanner API to retrieve data flow tables?

I am using the scanner API to interrogate our tenant. I can see tables and fields for datasets. However, I cannot see tables/fields for data flows-am I missing something or can I retrieve this information another way?

 

We really don't want to go back to the individual admin methods because you quickly hit limitations that's why I am trying to do it with the scanner API.

 

Thanks
