Returns scan results for a specific scan. If you submit a request without query parameters, Tenable.io returns results from the latest run of the specified scan. If you submit a request using the query parameters to specify a historical run of the scan, Tenable.io returns the scan results for the specified run.

**Note:** Keep in mind potential [rate limits](doc:rate-limiting) and [concurrency limits](doc:concurrency-limiting) when using this endpoint. To check the status of a scan, use the [GET /scans//latest-status](ref:scans-get-latest-status) endpoint. Tenable recommends the [GET /scans//latest-status](ref:scans-get-latest-status) endpoint especially if you are programmatically checking the status of large numbers of scans.

**Note:** This endpoint returns limited data if scan results are older than 35 days. Scans that are older than 35 days are effectively “archived”. The `info.is_archived` attribute in the response message for this endpoint serves as the indication of archival status. For complete data from archived scan results, use the [POST /scans//export](ref:scans-export-request) endpoint instead.

Requires SCAN OPERATOR [24] user permissions and CAN VIEW [16] scan permissions. See [Permissions](doc:permissions).
