Can I Use Smartphone Biometric Sensor to scan Public Fingerprint

Can I use the Bio-metric sensor provided by my Smartphone to be used as a public scanner to scan and store them in my Back-end Server through API calls? The Libraries that I've found (in Native codes as well) uses the Fingerprint methods only to match it with the prints stored in the device via authenticate method rather than providing me with the scanned fingerprint data. My Question is, how can I get the scanned prints that I can save in my Server through API calls?

Libraries in React-Native :

react-native-fingerprint-scanner

react-native-biometrics

Java

BiometricPrompt

Nice question but I don't see the point of saving the scanned prints on the server side. In my opinion, they are only meant to be used to authenticate the owner of the smartphone and for security reasons the constructors are not allowed to give those biometric images. Anyway I am interested in that topic is someone has a solution :)
