# Applications

## Overview

Using the Nucleus FlexConnect file schema, you can support both git repositories and web app urls using the Application type.

To use a web app url upload, specify that the scan_type is “Application” and enter the root web url. To specify a repository, fill out the app_branch, app_repo_url in addition to using the scan_type = “Application”
