# Create Batch

> Creates up to 1,000 QR codes asynchronously. Returns `202` immediately;
poll `GET /batches/{id}` for progress. Available on Plus, Pro, Ultra
and Agency plans. Requires the `qr:write` scope.

Items use the same `target` rules as single creation. A shared
`design` (or a saved dashboard template via `template_id`) is applied
to every item. Dynamic items count against your plan's QR limit —
capacity is checked before the batch is accepted.

info:
  title: QRKit API
  description: >
    Programmatic access to QRKit — create, manage and track QR codes.


    All requests are scoped to the **workspace** the API key belongs to:

    QR codes and folders created here appear in the QRKit dashboard and

    vice-versa.


    ## Dynamic vs static


    - **Dynamic** codes encode a short scan URL
    (`https://scan.useqrkit.com/{short_code}`)
      that redirects to your destination — editable later, with scan analytics.
      Types: `url` (default), `vcard`.
    - **Static** codes encode their payload directly — nothing to host, but
      the content is fixed once printed and there are no analytics.
      Types: `wifi`, `email`, `sms`, `text`, `event` (always static), and
      `url` when created with `"type": "static"`.

    Dynamic codes have ids like `qr_123`; static codes `sqr_123`.

      Webhook endpoints receive HTTP POST notifications whenever events occur in
      your workspace.

      Each endpoint subscribes to one or more event types (or `*` for all).
      Requires API key

      scopes `webhooks:read` and/or `webhooks:write`.


      Endpoint caps are counted per `source`: up to 10 endpoints created
      directly

      (`source: "api"`, the default) plus up to 50 for each integration platform

      (`zapier`, `make`, `n8n`) — integrations register one endpoint per active

      Zap/scenario and manage their own.


      ## Event catalog


      | Type | Fires when |

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

      | `qr.created` | A QR code is created via API or dashboard |

      | `qr.updated` | A QR code's name, target, design, tags or active state
      changes |

      | `qr.deleted` | A QR code is deleted |

      | `qr.scanned` | A dynamic QR code is scanned (see privacy guarantee
      below) |

      | `batch.completed` | All items in a batch job have finished processing |

      | `batch.failed` | A batch job failed globally (not item-level errors) |

      | `ping` | Emitted only via `POST /webhooks/{id}/test` to verify
      connectivity |


      ## Event envelope


      Every delivery sends a JSON body with the shape:


      ```json

      {
        "id": "evt_…",
        "object": "event",
        "type": "qr.scanned",
        "created_at": "2026-06-11T12:34:56.789Z",
        "data": { … }
      }

      ```


      Events are addressable via `GET /v1/events/{id}` for 30 days after
      creation.

      Re-fetch authoritative object state via the REST API if you need fields
      beyond what

      the event payload includes — event ordering is not guaranteed.


      ## Signature verification


      Every delivery includes the header:


      ```

      QRKit-Signature: t=1718099696,v1=a3b2c1…

      ```


      The signed string is `"{t}.{raw_request_body}"`. Compute `HMAC-SHA256`
      over that

      string using your endpoint secret (`whsec_…`). Compare the result against
      the `v1=`

      value using a **constant-time** equality function. Reject deliveries where
      the

      timestamp `t` differs from your server clock by more than **5 minutes** to
      prevent

      replay attacks.


      During the 24-hour grace period after a `rotate-secret` call the header
      will contain

      two `v1=` entries (one for each secret). Accept a delivery if **either**
      value matches.


      ## Retry schedule


      Failed deliveries (non-2xx response, timeout, or connection error) are
      retried up to

      7 attempts on an exponential back-off schedule:


      | Attempt | Delay after previous |

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

      | 1 | immediate |

      | 2 | 1 minute |

      | 3 | 5 minutes |

      | 4 | 30 minutes |

      | 5 | 2 hours |

      | 6 | 6 hours |

      | 7 | 24 hours |


      After the 7th failed attempt the delivery moves to terminal `failed`
      status (~33 hours

      total window).


      ## Auto-disable


      After sustained delivery failures the endpoint is automatically set to
      `auto_disabled`

      and an email is sent to the workspace owner. Re-enable it by calling

      `PATCH /v1/webhooks/{id}` with `{ "status": "enabled" }` once your server
      is healthy

      (consecutive failure count resets to zero on re-enable).


      ## Delivery semantics


      - **At-least-once** — the same event may be delivered more than once;
      deduplicate by
        the event `id`.
      - **30-day retention** — events and delivery records are kept for 30 days.

      - **Ordering not guaranteed** — process events idempotently and re-fetch
      authoritative
        state via REST or `GET /v1/events` when you need a consistent view.

      ## qr.scanned privacy guarantee


      Scan events delivered to external endpoints contain **no IP address**,
      **no precise

      location** (no latitude, longitude, or postal code), and **no raw
      user-agent string**.

      The `data` payload is limited to: `country`, `city`, `device`, `os`,
      `browser`,

      `referrer`, and `language`.
