The area

What is cli and api in Autessa QR Codes?

Every QR code action in the web app is also in the Autessa CLI and API: create, list, get, update, delete, set the share level, share, list shares, unshare and read stats. Script codes for every location, repoint them in bulk, and pull scan numbers into your own reports.

Why it matters

  • No web-only steps: the full lifecycle is scriptable.
  • JSON in, JSON out, with the same permissions as the web app.
  • Design and UTM objects on create and update.
  • Stats with totals, daily counts, hour-of-day counts and recent scans.

What a scan does

Whether a code was made in the web app or by a script, a scan follows the same path: short link, logged scan, optional tags, redirect.

  1. 01

    Someone scans

    The printed code holds only your fixed short link, …/public/qr/k3x9a2m.

  2. 02

    The scan is logged

    Time, device, location and IP are recorded before anything else happens.

  3. 03

    Tags are added

    If campaign tracking is on, utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign join the URL.

  4. 04

    They land on your page

    A redirect sends them to today’s destination. Paused codes stop here.
