Scanner Web Service

Loby Scanner, which is available for iOS and Android, is commonly used to verify, validate and lookup members, tickets etc. But you can actually overwrite the regular behaviour by implementing a web service, that the scanner will communicate with. This allows for using the scanner to scan various barcodes and customizing the behaviour when doing so.

High Level Steps

1. The Scanner recognizes a barcode (QR, Code128, EAN-13 etc.)
2. The Scanner sends the barcode information to the endpoint
3. Your Web Service reads the barcode and returns a response
4. The Scanner acts according to your Web Service response

Getting Started

To get started with the Scanner Web Service:

1. Set up an endpoint on your server that can receive POST requests
2. Configure your scanner to use your custom endpoint
3. Implement the request/response protocol described in this documentation
