Scan summary
Summary of a completed scan on the connected account: risk score (0 best, 100 worst), verdict, banner and consent platform, cookie and tracker counts, the top issues and the report link. Technical findings, not legal advice.
ParametersscanIdrequired
get_scan_status
Scan status
Status of a scan on the connected account: queued, running, completed or failed, with the riskScore (0 best, 100 worst) once done. Technical findings, not legal advice.
ParametersscanIdrequired
get_prescan_result
Pre-scan result
Return the result of a pre-scan started with prescan_site: riskScore (0 best, 100 worst, the same scale as the full report), risk level, how many cookies load before consent, up to five trackers by name, the consent platform and its confidence, Google Consent Mode status, three findings, and the report link. This is a header-and-HTML pre-scan, single page; the full scan with a real browser, evidence and fix guide requires a CookieInspector account. Technical findings, not legal advice.

Optional region: main (US East), us-west, eu-de (Germany, for EU-targeted banners). Uses the plan's monthly scans. Returns a scanId to poll with get_scan_status, then get_scan_summary. Technical findings, not legal advice.
