# Guardrail Scan Url

Scans a URL for security threats using a saved guardrail. Use `X-Enkrypt-Mode` to select between input and output detectors.

* `X-Enkrypt-Mode: prompt` — applies the guardrail's **input** detectors
* `X-Enkrypt-Mode: response` — applies the guardrail's **output** detectors

## Example request:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={"system"}
  import requests
  import json
  import os

  url = "https://api.enkryptai.com/guardrails/guardrail/scan-url"

  payload = json.dumps({
      "url": "https://example.com"
  })

  headers = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'apikey': os.getenv('ENKRYPTAI_API_KEY'),
      'X-Enkrypt-Guardrail': 'My Guardrail',
      'X-Enkrypt-Mode': 'prompt'
  }

  response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
  print(json.dumps(response.json(), indent=4))
  ```

  ```shell cURL theme={"system"}
  curl -X POST "https://api.enkryptai.com/guardrails/guardrail/scan-url" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
    -H "X-Enkrypt-Guardrail: My Guardrail" \
    -H "X-Enkrypt-Mode: prompt" \
    -d '{ "url": "https://example.com" }'
  ```
