Gate Hardware Setup

Connect your gate in 3 steps

Any NFC/RFID reader, turnstile, or scanner that can make an HTTP request can feed the Tapn.vip high-speed tap broker. Taps are buffered instantly and matched to attendees automatically.

1 · Point your device at the broker

One endpoint, no API key needed for ingestion. badge_uid is the attendee's check-in code (printed on their ticket QR).

curl -X POST https://tapnvip.com/api/broker/enqueue-tap \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "gate_id": "MAIN-ENTRANCE-A",
    "badge_uid": "ATTENDEE_CHECKIN_CODE",
    "timestamp": 1771190400.0
  }'

2 · Wire it into your reader

Example for a Raspberry Pi or any Python-capable reader:

# Raspberry Pi / gate reader (Python)
import requests, time

GATE_ID = "MAIN-ENTRANCE-A"

def on_badge_scanned(badge_uid):
    requests.post(
        "https://tapnvip.com/api/broker/enqueue-tap",
        json={"gate_id": GATE_ID,
              "badge_uid": badge_uid,
              "timestamp": time.time()},
        timeout=5)

3 · Watch it live

  • Matching badges are auto-checked-in instantly — no staff needed.
  • Your Event Manager dashboard shows the 🚪 Live gate taps feed with matched names.
  • Unknown badges are stored as unmatched so you can spot gate-crashers.

Buffer capacity: 10,000 queued taps · burst-safe · returns a job ID in milliseconds. Stats for super admins at /api/broker/stats.
