Request

Example: One checkin with its employee expanded

  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer <token>',
    'Accept': 'application/json',
  },
});

$response = Http::withToken('<token>')
    ->acceptJson()
    ->get('https://<your-url>/api/v2/checkins/1?include=user');

The summary and detail views are identical on this resource: every field is small enough for a list row. A checkin belonging to another employee is 404 unless the caller holds checkins::read; the row is invisible, so its existence stays invisible. user renders as an {"id": N} reference; ?include=user expands it, and that expansion additionally requires users::read and a token scope covering the users prefix.

Path parameters

The Checkin's numeric id.
