Hi Khaled, You should be able to utilise an existing, custom resource pool (that you have already created in Burp Professional) by supplying the name of the pool in the 'resource_pool' string value. So something like the following would initiate a scan using an existing, custom resource pool entitled 'NewPool": curl -vgw "\n" -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:1337/v0.1/scan' -d '{"resource_pool":"NewPool","urls":["https://portswigger-labs.net"]}'

Thanks for this informations, but is possible to save resource_pool for use after restart?
