Nessus has stopped implicit API Support from 7.x. You should either be using their Free Version "Nessus Home" or licensed to "SecurityCenter or Tenable.io" to use API for automation.

If you were an existing licensee, you can still use API until December, 2018 provided you don't update to Nessus Pro v7 Nessus Update ScreenShot
