This cannot be done with our current open APIs. Scan Essentials is a Trimble extension and gets some special privileges. While we like to provide useful API for everyone, there are cases when one of our own teams needs access to something that we don’t want to make public because it risks breaking things if used wrongly. I don’t know if that is the case here.
Feel free to add a feature request to our issue tracker. Information about possible use cases help us prioritize what to add.
