POST /rest/db/scan

Request immediate scan. Takes the optional parameters folder (folder ID), sub (path relative to the folder root) and next (time in seconds). If folder is omitted or empty all folders are scanned. If sub is given, only this path (and children, in case it’s a directory) is scanned. The next argument delays Syncthing’s automated rescan interval for a given amount of seconds.

Requesting scan of a path that no longer exists, but previously did, is valid and will result in Syncthing noticing the deletion of the path in question.

Returns status 200 and no content upon success, or status 500 and a plain text error if an error occurred during scanning.
