For an image session, this only URI only returns resources stored with the experiment, not any resources stored at the scan or image assessor context. See Image Session Scans API and Image Assessor Resource API for details.

GET - /data/projects/{project-id}/subjects/{subject-id | subject-label}/experiments/{experiment-id | experiment-label}/scans/{scan-id}/resources
GET - /data/experiments/{experiment-id}/scans/{scan-id}/resources

Parameters

{project-id}Path parameter
{subject-id} or {subject-label}Path parameter. Subject label is a project-specific field, and can only be used if a project is specified.
{experiment-id} or {experiment-label}Path parameter. Experiment label is a project-specific field, and can only be used if a project is specified.
{scan-id}Path parameter.
format

Optional querystring parameter. Specify the format of the returned response.
