Send scans directly from ScanWow to your own endpoint. No middleman, no monthly integration fee. Just a simple HTTPS POST with your data.
Three steps. Five minutes. No Zapier subscription required.
Clone our open-source starter kit (Node.js or Python) and deploy to Render, Railway, Vercel, or your own server. One click, free tier friendly.
Open Settings → Integrations → API Export. Paste your endpoint URL and bearer token. Tap "Test Connection" to verify.
Enable "Auto-send after scan" and every document you scan is automatically sent to your server — including the PDF, extracted text, and metadata.

Scans go directly from your iPhone to your endpoint. ScanWow never stores or routes your data through our servers.
Enable auto-send and every scan is automatically pushed after OCR completes — including Magic Text AI enhancement.
The receiver starter kit is MIT licensed. No API keys, no per-request fees, no vendor lock-in.
Render, Railway, Vercel, AWS, your Raspberry Pi — if it speaks HTTPS, it works with ScanWow.
Simple, secure authentication. Your token never leaves your device — sent only in the Authorization header over HTTPS.
Choose what to send: PDF, extracted text, original images, or all three. Configure per your workflow needs.
Clone the starter kit, deploy in 5 minutes, and start receiving scans from ScanWow.
