+# Zebra Shielded Scanning gRPC Server
+
+## Get Started
+
+### Setup
+
+After setting up [Zebra Shielded Scanning](https://zebra.zfnd.org/user/shielded-scan.html), add a `listen_addr` field to the shielded-scan configuration:
+
+```toml
+[shielded_scan]
+listen_addr = "127.0.0.1:8231"
+```
+
+Then, run `zebrad` to start the scan gRPC server.
+
+Making requests to the server will also require a gRPC client, the examples here use `grpcurl`, though any gRPC client should work.
+
+[See installation instructions for `grpcurl` here](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl?tab=readme-ov-file#installation).
+
+The types can be accessed through the `zebra-grpc` crate's root `scanner` module for clients in a Rust environment, and the [`scanner.proto` file here](https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/zebra/blob/main/zebra-grpc/proto/scanner.proto) can be used to build types in other environments.
+
+### Usage
+
+To check that the gRPC server is running, try calling `scanner.Scanner/GetInfo`, for example with `grpcurl`:
+
+```bash
+grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' scanner.Scanner/GetInfo
+```
+
+The response should look like:
+
+```
+{
+  "minSaplingBirthdayHeight": 419200
+}
+```
+
+An example request to the `Scan` method with `grpcurl` would look like: 
+
+```bash
+grpcurl -plaintext -d '{ "keys": { "key": ["sapling_extended_full_viewing_key"] } }' '127.0.0.1:8231' scanner.Scanner/Scan
+```
+
+This will start scanning for transactions in Zebra's state and in new blocks as they're validated.
+
+Or, to use the scanner gRPC server without streaming, try calling `RegisterKeys` with your Sapling extended full viewing key, waiting for the scanner to cache some results, then calling `GetResults`:
+
+```bash
+grpcurl -plaintext -d '{ "keys": { "key": ["sapling_extended_full_viewing_key"] } }' '127.0.0.1:8231' scanner.Scanner/RegisterKeys
+grpcurl -plaintext -d '{ "keys": ["sapling_extended_full_viewing_key"] }' '127.0.0.1:8231' scanner.Scanner/GetResults
+```
+
+## gRPC Reflection
+
+To see all of the provided methods with `grpcurl`, try:
+
+```bash
+grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' list scanner.Scanner
+```
+
+This will list the paths to each method in the `Scanner` service:
+```
+scanner.Scanner.ClearResults
+scanner.Scanner.DeleteKeys
+scanner.Scanner.GetInfo
+scanner.Scanner.GetResults
+scanner.Scanner.RegisterKeys
+```
+
+To see the the request and response types for a method, for example the `GetResults` method, try:
+
+
+```bash
+grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' describe scanner.Scanner.GetResults \
+&& grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' describe scanner.GetResultsRequest \
+&& grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' describe scanner.GetResultsResponse \
+&& grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' describe scanner.Results \
+&& grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' describe scanner.Transactions \
+&& grpcurl -plaintext '127.0.0.1:8231' describe scanner.Transaction
+```
+
+The response should be the request and response types for the `GetResults` method:
+
+```
+scanner.Scanner.GetResults is a method:
+// Get all data we have stored for the given keys.
+rpc GetResults ( .scanner.GetResultsRequest ) returns ( .scanner.GetResultsResponse );
+scanner.GetResultsRequest is a message:
+// A request for getting results for a set of keys.
+message GetResultsRequest {
+  // Keys for which to get results.
+  repeated string keys = 1;
+}
+scanner.GetResultsResponse is a message:
+// A set of responses for each provided key of a GetResults call.
+message GetResultsResponse {
+  // Results for each key.
+  map<string, .scanner.Results> results = 1;
+}
+scanner.Results is a message:
+// A result for a single key.
+message Results {
+  // A height, transaction id map
+  map<uint32, .scanner.Transactions> by_height = 1;
+}
+scanner.Transactions is a message:
+// A vector of transaction hashes
+message Transactions {
+  // Transactions
+  repeated Transaction transactions = 1;
+}
+scanner.Transaction is a message:
+// Transaction data
+message Transaction {
+  // The transaction hash/id
+  string hash = 1;
+}
+```
+
+## Methods
+
+<!-- TODO: Add a reference to zebra-grpc method docs -->
+
+---
+#### GetInfo
+
+Returns basic information about the `zebra-scan` instance.
+
+#### RegisterKeys
+
+Starts scanning for a set of keys, with optional start heights, and caching the results.
+Cached results can later be retrieved by calling the `GetResults` or `Scan` methods.
+
+#### DeleteKeys
+
+Stops scanning transactions for a set of keys. Deletes the keys and their cached results for the keys from zebra-scan.
+
+#### GetResults
+
+Returns cached results for a set of keys.
+
+#### ClearResults
+
+Deletes any cached results for a set of keys.
+
+#### Scan
+
+Starts scanning for a set of keys and returns a stream of results.
