# List forms

> GET /forms/

Forms are Scanova's current lead-capture and data-collection builder — richer than the legacy [Lead Lists](/api-reference/management-api/leads/list) feature, and the recommended way to collect visitor data from a QR scan. List or create them here.

<Note>
  Requires a Management API key with `MANAGEMENT_API` (or `MANAGEMENT_API_SANDBOX`) quota, sent as the raw `Authorization` header value — see the [Management API overview](/api-reference/management-api/overview).
</Note>

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl --request GET \
    --url 'https://management.scanova.io/forms/' \
    --header 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY'
  ```
</RequestExample>

    The complete Scanova Management API — every endpoint available at

    plans, shared users & roles), plus the token-creation and usage-stats
    endpoints used to authenticate against it. Every path and request/response

        Send your Management API key as the raw value of the Authorization
        header — no "Bearer " or "Token " prefix, and no other characters.
        Example: `Authorization: 401f7ac837da42b97f613d789819ff93537bee6a`. A
        header containing more than one space-separated part is rejected
        outright. Requests also require the request's Host header to be the
        management API host (e.g. management.scanova.io) — the same key sent to
        the regular API host will not authenticate.
