Help for operators
Claiming, keeping listings live, hours and closures, fees, photos, promotion and the API.
Getting started
- Claim your machines
Sign in with your work email and take over the listings that are already yours.
- Add machines: one at a time, by spreadsheet or by API
Three ways in, all with a duplicate check so nothing is listed twice.
- Invite your team
One admin and machine editors, free.
- Free, Pro and the founding offer
Claiming, editing and status are always free. Pro adds live fees and longer analytics.
Keeping listings live
- Statuses, last seen and confirmations
What Working, Not confirmed, Temporarily closed and Not working mean, and how listings stay confirmed.
- Connect a data feed (CoinATMRadar format)
Already send rates to CoinATMRadar? Point the same JSON at Bitcoin Scouts.
- Connect your ATM server (Lamassu and other push feeds)
Your ATM server sends status and fees to a private URL, the way it does for CoinATMRadar.
- Uptime watch: alerts when a machine goes down (Pro)
Hear about a dead or faulty machine within minutes, by email, Slack or webhook, with escalation and a weekly report.
- Heartbeats and the listing API
Keys, test mode, heartbeats and bulk updates.
- How fees are shown
"$100 in gets you about $X of bitcoin", and where the number comes from.
Listing details
- Hours, holidays and temporary closures
Weekly hours, holiday dates that override them, and closures that reopen on their own.
- Change an address or move the pin
Fix it yourself: a quick review, or instantly when you're at the machine.
- Close, move or replace a machine
Permanent closures keep their links working and send people somewhere useful.
- Photo rules
One outside, one inside, your own, at least 800 px.
- Edit many machines at once
Select machines, set one field, preview, apply.
- Cash-out machines and cash level
Tell people a two-way machine has cash, without publishing amounts.
Customers and growth
- Reviews, reports and check-ins
What customers can tell you, and how to answer.
- Promote a machine
One labelled slot above results. It never changes the ranking.
- Website map and store signs
Put your live map on your site and print signs for each store.
- Find new store locations
Stores that want a machine list themselves; you send an offer.
