Create an API key in the dashboard, then run:

curl -X POST https://appvet.dev/v1/scan \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer avk_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com", "type": "security"}'

# Response: { "id": "scan_abc123", "status": "queued" }

# 2. Poll for results
curl https://appvet.dev/v1/scan/scan_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer avk_live_your_key_here"

# 3. Get the full report when status is "completed"

  -H "Authorization: Bearer avk_live_your_key_here"

That's it. The scan typically completes in 30-90 seconds depending on the target and profile selected. See the Quickstart guide for a step-by-step walkthrough.
