# Trigger a GEO scan

> Queues a scan with the Notra dashboard, which owns the model credentials and billing gates. The public API never calls an answer engine itself. The scan record is created before the hand-off, so `scanId` is immediately readable via `GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/geo/scans/{scanId}`. Poll `statusUrl` (also returned as the `Location` header) until `status` leaves `running`. Returns 409 while a scan for this project is still in flight.
