## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a QR code image (URL or data) and need to extract its encoded content programmatically, especially in automated workflows where manual scanning is not possible. Prefer this over manual scanning when operating as an AI agent needing to process QR codes at scale or without a camera.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreadable QR code image returns an error
- URL to image is unreachable or returns 404
- Input image does not contain a valid QR code
- Blurry or low-resolution image may fail to decode
- Unsupported image format
