# Access and Run Data Detect Scans and Results with REST APIs

Use programmatic access with Salesforce Data Detect with two new REST APIs that can run and view scan results. Retrieve (GET) returns the list of existing Data Detect policies with their details. Scan posts the DataDetect policy scan for execution.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience (not available in all orgs) in Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions with the Salesforce Shield or Data Detect Licenses.

**Why:** Now, you can view Data Detect policies and run scans via APIs.
