Example prompt: Can you decode this QR code image for me and tell me what it contains? Here's the image URL: https://example.com/qr-code.png

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call QR decode without managing your own image-processing infrastructure. It accepts both remote image URLs and base64-encoded images, making it flexible for pipeline use. Ideal for agents that encounter QR codes in documents, emails, or web pages and need to resolve their contents programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Image URL is unreachable or returns a non-image response
- No QR code detected in the image
- Image is too blurry or low-resolution for decoding
- Invalid base64 string provided
- QR code is partially obscured or damaged
- Unsupported image format
