### Lead Scanning API <a href="#lead-scanning-api" id="lead-scanning-api"></a>

The **Enable Lead Scanning API** setting is available after clicking **Show extra options** at the bottom of the **Exhibitor Portal** settings page.

When enabled, exhibitors can connect their own external lead scanning software or hardware to Let's Get Digital. Leads scanned using these external solutions are automatically synchronised with the Exhibitor Portal alongside leads captured using the Let's Get Digital app.

#### How it works

Once enabled:

1. A **Lead Scanning API** section becomes available in the Exhibitor Portal.
2. Each exhibitor team member is assigned a unique **ID** and **API token**.
3. The exhibitor's external lead scanning application uses these credentials to submit scanned attendee QR codes to Let's Get Digital.
4. The attendee's contact details are immediately returned to the external application, provided the attendee has consented to share their data.
5. The scanned lead is automatically added to the Exhibitor Portal and appears alongside all other captured leads.

#### Important information

* The Lead Scanning API is an addition to the Let's Get Digital lead scanning app and does not replace it.
* This feature is only available when the **Exhibitor Portal** is enabled and is available as part of the **Extensive** package.
* Attendees who have opted out of data sharing will not have their contact details shared through the API.
* Self-scans, duplicate scans and invalid attendee QR codes are automatically rejected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge-base.letsgetdigital.com/the-admin-panel/settings/general-settings-app-+-vp-1/exhibitor-portal-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
