Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Get quick answers to the most popular questions

Who can use QR Code API?

This QR Code Generation API is useful for businesses and developers who want to automate custom-designed static QR Code generation in their own information system or mobile app.

How can I test QR Code API?

To test, you can generate a valid API key by signing up to QR API for a 14-day free trial. With this key, you can generate valid API requests, which return scannable QR Codes. Once a key has been generated, you can use our API Playground & Documentation feature to test the API.

What does ‘API Requests’ mean?

An API Request is a GET Request made from your own information system or mobile application to QR API’s Static QR Code Generation API. Each valid API Request returns a static QR Code. You can send upto 2,500 requests/month with Starter plan, 25,000 requests/month with Advanced, and 1million requests/month with Pro plan.

What does 'Request Rate' mean?

The Request Rate is the maximum rate at which you can send API Requests to our QR Code API via your information system or mobile application. With Starter plan you can send upto 10 requests/sc, 100 requests/sec with Advanced plan, and unlimited requests/sec with Pro plan.

I have tested the API. How do I integrate it with my system?

If you have tested the API, it means you have created a QR Code and a corresponding request URL. To integrate with your own information system, generate the API request URLs in the similar format. You can also download the complete API Documentation

Can I send an API request without the API key?

Technically, it is possible to send an API request, without the API key parameter or with an invalid API key. In both cases, an unscannable QR Code image with a 'preview' watermark will be returned. To remove the watermark, you can signup and send API requests with a valid API key.
