Scan history for a code

Overview

Get each scan of a code: when and, where available, from what device.

Use this for detail on one code.

You'll need the QR code's id.

Returns the scans, newest first, 15 per page unless you set per_page.

Prerequisites

A bearer token. See Authentication.
The QR code's id (qrCodeId), from List QR codes.

Base URL

Environment	URL
Production	`https://production-api.shoutaboutus.com`
Development	`https://development-api.shoutaboutus.com`

Endpoint

GET /api/v1/qr-codes/{qrCodeId}/scan-history

Authentication

Account token

The QR code must belong to the caller's own company; otherwise 404 QR code not found. An id that doesn't exist at all returns 422.

circle-info
QR codes belong to the account company that created them, and every QR endpoint matches on that company exactly; it does not walk the partner hierarchy. A Partner token sees nothing, even for a location inside the partner's own tree: list and stats endpoints return an empty result, and single-record endpoints return 404. The 404 means "not visible to this token", not "this QR code does not exist". Use an account token for every endpoint in this section.

Rate limit

120 requests per minute, counted per user (the token’s user). See Rate limits.
