Elements API – 2025-10-01 Update

New Remote Operation: Scan For (software) Updates

We’ve added a new remote operation scanForUpdates that allows you to scan for available software updates on target devices.

What it does:

  • Remotely triggers a scan for available software updates on selected devices
  • Works on computer-type devices only
  • Requires no additional parameters – simply specify the target devices

This complements the existing installSoftwareUpdates operation by providing a way to check what updates are available before deciding whether to install them.

Read from from the Elements API specification page and look for the POST /devices/v1/operations endpoint.
