I am trying to scan the file system for UDT changes. The api route to scan projects and config does not work. How do I scan for gateway changes?

Tag changes would fall into the "config" scan endpoint, but you haven't provided much information:

1. What value(s) are you changing, exactly?
2. Which file(s) are you changing them in?
3. What is your evidence that it "does not work"?

My mistake. I didn’t have security levels for the api set correctly.
