# List scans

> Recent scans for the event. Pass `since` for incremental sync (oldest-first, up to 500); otherwise the latest 100 are returned.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.yml get /events/{event_id}/scans
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Attend API
  version: v1
  description: >
    REST API for [Attend](https://attend.hackclub.com), Hack Club's event

    management platform. The API is used by the Attend mobile app and by

    trusted server-to-server integrations.


    ## Authentication


    Almost every endpoint requires a bearer token:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer <token>

    ```


    Four kinds of token are accepted:


    - **Mobile token** — issued to a signed-in user by `POST /session`. Sets the
      current user. May return the response header
      `X-Token-Refresh-Recommended: true` when the token is nearing expiry;
      call `POST /session/refresh` to rotate it.
    - **Global API token** — a superadmin-issued token. Only honoured while its
      owner is still a global admin. Sets the current user. May be **scoped**
      when issued, in which case it reaches only the endpoints that accept
      that scope and returns `403` everywhere else, read-only endpoints
      included. An unscoped token carries its owner's full access. Scopes are
      noted on the endpoints that accept them; the only one today is
      `bans:write`.
    - **Series API key** — one key for a whole event series, issued from
      **Series → API Keys** in the dashboard by a series owner. Does **not** set
      a current user. It acts as an event API key on *every* event in its
      series, and it is the only credential that can create an event. Scopes do
      not apply — a series key's reach is its series. See the **Series**
      section.
    - **Event API key** — per-event key (`EventApiToken`, or the legacy
      `Event#api_key`). Does **not** set a current user, so it only works on the
      subset of endpoints that don't require one (participant `lookup`,
      `roster`, `create`, and the travel calendar).

    Missing or invalid credentials return `401 { "error": "Unauthorized" }`.


    ### What an API key cannot do


    Neither key kind sets a current user, so endpoints that must attribute work

    to a person stay closed to both — regardless of how broad the key is. A

    series key is wider in *reach* (more events), never in *depth*:


    | Endpoint | Series key | Event key |

    | --- | --- | --- |

    | `GET/POST /series/…` | ✅ its own series | ❌ `403` |

    | `POST /series/{id}/events` | ✅ its own series | ❌ `403` |

    | Participant `lookup`, `roster`, `create` | ✅ any event in the series | ✅
    its own event |

    | `GET /events/{id}/travel` | ✅ any event in the series | ✅ its own event |

    | `GET /events/{id}/participants` (full payload) | ❌ `403` | ❌ `403` |

    | Notes, scans, scan contexts, Slack blasts, NFC badges | ❌ `403` | ❌ `403`
    |


    Either key can be revoked without credentials by POSTing its own secret to

    `POST /tokens/revoke`; Attend emails the key's owner (or, if their account

    is gone, the series owners) when that happens.


    ## Conventions


    - All timestamps are ISO 8601 strings and may be `null` where noted.

    - Errors use the envelope `{ "error": "<message>" }`.

    - `:event_id` path segments accept a numeric id or the event slug on the
      participants endpoints; other endpoints accept the numeric id only.

    > **Note:** Inbound webhook receivers (Postmark, Help Scout, DocuSeal,

    > Slack events) also live under `/api/v1` but are called by third parties,

    > not by API consumers, and are not documented here.
