Hi,
https://help.rapid7.com/insightvm/en-us/api/index.html#tag/Scan/operation/startScan
you need to include engine id in the payload:

{

"assetGroupIds": [

61

],

"engineId": 0,

"hosts": [

"string"

],

"name": "string",

"templateId": "string"

}

you can get scan engine ids from api :https://[console address]/api/3/scan_engines
or via the admin page, → scan engines
