How this service works

Decode, generate or validate barcodes and QR codes. Decode reads up to 32 codes from a public HTTPS image (QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, EAN, UPC, Code 128 and more); generate answers a temporary HTTPS URL to a PNG or SVG, kept one hour; validate checks a payload and its check digit. POST /v1/barcode with operation. Pay per request in USDC; no account, no API key.

Output

For decode: an array of up to 32 detected codes each with format, text value, and position. For generate: a temporary HTTPS URL to a PNG or SVG image valid for one hour. For validate: a boolean result indicating whether the payload and check digit are valid for the specified format. For formats: a list of readable and writable barcode formats.

Example use cases

Product label barcode reading

“I have a photo of a grocery shelf at https://store.example.com/shelf.png — can you read all the UPC and EAN barcodes in it and list every product code you find?”

QR code generation for campaign link

“Generate a QR code PNG for the URL https://myshop.com/summer-sale, make it 512x512 pixels with high error correction so it still scans if partially damaged.”

EAN-13 check digit validation

“Can you validate whether 5901234123457 is a properly formatted EAN-13 barcode — does the check digit check out?”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-use, no-account barcode service that handles decode, generate, and validate in a single API with broad format support (QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, EAN, UPC, Code 128). Prefer it over free tier services when you need multi-code detection (up to 32 per image), SVG output, or fine-grained error correction control without setting up an API key.

Side effects

Text payload exceeds 4096 character limit for generate
Invalid width/height values outside 1–4096 range
Unsupported format specified for generate or validate
Payment not received — request rejected with 402
Generated image URL expires after one hour — must regenerate
