Attendee checkin with the Scanner API

With the Paydro Scanner API you can integrate the attendee checkin with your own systems.

You can use the Scanner API in two ways:

1. In conjunction with the paydro.com/badges interface to automatically print badges on checkin, except you're create a different kind of scan interface with this API.
2. A simple checkin/checkout interface to integrate with your current system.

Identification

Private call: admin.paydro.com/[event-id]/acs/checkins.json.

This is a private call. Read the introduction for more information about authenticating private calls.

To start using the Scanner API in conjunction with paydro.com/badges page, you'll need to 'activate' the session that is created by our scanner page. Go to paydro.com/badges, follow the wizard and let your Dymo label printer print an identification ticket. Scan the qr-code with your scanner and post the credentials back to Paydro.

POST DATA
Data[event_id]  = UUID
Data[identification] = UUID scanned from the qr-code

Save the UUID obtained from the qr-code and use it to identify all following API calls. This is only needed to use in conjunction with the paydro.com/badges interface.

Checkins

Get a list of the latests checkins by a specific scanner.

Public call: admin.paydro.com/[event-id]/acs/checkins.json.

To use this endpoint you have to get at least a scan_id and scanner_id, which you can obtain through the /identification.json endpoint. Poll this endpoint multiple times per second to automatically receive the latest scans.

GET DATA
scan_id = number // The id of the last known checkin or identification ticket.
