A basic image scan can only be started once per 24 hours on an individual image. This limit includes if an image was scanned on initial push. You can start up to 100,000 basic scans per 24 hours. This limit includes both scans on initial push and scans initiated by the StartImageScan API. For more information, see Basic scanning in the_Amazon Elastic Container Registry User Guide_.

Examples

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (AUTHPARAMS) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the AWS General Reference.

You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to manually create them. When you use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or one of the AWS SDKs to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.

Example

This example starts an image scan for and specified by the image digest in thesample-repo repository.
