Barcode & QR Code Generator API

Generates a supported barcode or QR code from supplied data.

When to use this API

This API produces machine-readable code images with format-aware validation. It is designed for operations that require labels, tracking identifiers, ticketing codes or printable code assets.

  • You need reliable code generation in backend systems.
  • You want to avoid custom image-generation logic per application.
  • You need centralized API usage logging and billing for generated assets.

Typical use cases

  • Shipping labels and package tracking.
  • Order confirmation and ticketing codes.
  • Inventory and warehouse labeling workflows.

Billing and APIRAPTOR token model

Barcode & QR Code Generator usage is metered per successful generated code through the `code_generation` service billing event.

  • Tokens are the APIRAPTOR communication unit: 1 token = 100 subtokens.
  • Trial availability, token amount and duration come from Billing configuration.
  • All services are available from day one; Code Generator is not premium-gated per plan.
  • This is service billing event metering, not ordinary API-call billing.

Generated-code boundary

The service generates machine-readable code assets from validated input; it does not verify the business truth of encoded values.

  • Embedded URLs, order IDs or labels remain customer-provided payload values.
  • APIRAPTOR does not follow embedded URLs or certify that a generated code points to a valid business destination.
  • Generated assets are not a GS1, logistics, official, payment-network or regulatory compliance guarantee.
  • Validate generated assets in your own print, scanner and downstream workflow before production rollout.

Input data

You send code type, payload and output options such as dimensions or image format.

Output data

The API returns generated barcode/QR image output.

How it works

  1. The service validates payload and format requirements.
  2. Generation engine creates the requested code image.
  3. The image output is returned and logged for account usage.
