 * Hi [@bbsolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbsolutions/), thanks for
   getting in touch!
 * Currently, the [Wordfence API](https://www.wordfence.com/help/advanced/wordfence-api/)
   will allow you to import settings across multiple sites and allowlist IP addresses
   but the scan itself cannot be called in this way.
 * If you could provide me with an outline of a use-case and how you’d like to utilize
   a scan from within the code of your site(s), we will always be happy to consider
   whether a customer request such as this could benefit the wider user-base of 
   the plugin.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.

 * Thanks [@bbsolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbsolutions/), I just
   wanted to note that this has been passed to the development team.
 * If you have other Wordfence questions in future, by all means start a new topic
   and we’ll be glad to help any time.
