Purpose

This endpoint is used to identify a guest who scans an identifier generated by the RBI app (which could be an OTP or the Loyalty ID) at a client device (typically a POS or Kiosk terminal). OTP is always allowed, but Loyalty ID’s may or may not be allowed depending on configuration.

This endpoint should only be called during the first scan. Subsequent scans should call Identify (PUT) instead.
