# Start Scan Deprecated

`POST /api/scan`

Legacy single-platform (X-only) scan endpoint.

Deprecated 2026-05-23 (cost-audit Fix #6). No traffic since 2026-04-30 —
the modern customer flow is /api/extract (multi-platform extractor).
The legacy classifier (accountability_classifier.py) it dispatched to
bypassed the cost-tracker entirely, so leaving the route reachable
would have been a paid-call leak waiting to happen if anyone hit it
again.

Returns HTTP 410 Gone — clients should switch to /api/extract.

## Response `200`
