# Overview

The Auditbase API allows one to create, get and list smart contract scans.   By sending a POST request to `/v1.1/scans`with the source code or with the contract address in the request body with a callback URL, the system initiates a scan of the source code.   Smart contracts are analyzed asynchronous, and upon completion the system will send the results of the scan to the specified callback URL.  There are two types of scans: the codescan and AI scan.   The codescan uses hundred of detectors to identify vulnerabilities while the AI  scan uses advanced AI to find vulnerabilities.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.auditbase.com/api-access/v-1.1/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
