Scope items (called Project Items in the API) define the specific targets within a project. Each scope item represents one testable asset — such as a web application URL, API endpoint, or IP address range — along with its type and access requirements.

Create a scope item

The required fields are name and projectId.
curl -X POST https://admin.hackgate.io/api/projects/createProjectItem \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Customer Portal API",
    "projectId": "proj-abc123"
  }'
Response:
{
  "id": "item-xyz789",
  "orgId": "org-xyz",
  "name": "Customer Portal API",
  "projectId": "proj-abc123",
  "creationDate": "2024-01-10T09:00:00Z"
}

Update a scope item

Use PUT to update scope item details. Include all fields in the body.
curl -X PUT https://admin.hackgate.io/api/projects/updateProjectItem \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "id": "item-xyz789",
    "orgId": "org-xyz",
    "name": "Customer Portal API",
    "projectId": "proj-abc123",
    "type": "api",
    "location": "https://api.example.com/v1",
    "accessType": "authenticated"
  }'

List scope items

curl https://admin.hackgate.io/api/projects/getProjectItems \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"
Returns all scope items across all projects for your organization. To get a single scope item:
curl https://admin.hackgate.io/api/projects/getProjectItem/<item-id> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"
Scope items are informational — they help your team track what’s in scope but do not automatically enforce access restrictions. Use block rules on your HackGATE to technically enforce scope boundaries.
