Description

Generate a QR code image from text data. Returns a QR code image in the requested format (PNG, SVG, EPS, etc.)

Parameters (10)

bgcolor (string, query, optional, default: 255-255-255)

Color of the background as RGB value. Format: 'R-G-B' (decimal 0-255) or hex without #.

charset-source (string, query, optional, default: UTF-8)

Character set encoding of the input data parameter.

Constraints: {'enum': ['ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8']}

charset-target (string, query, optional, default: UTF-8)

Character set to encode the data with before storing it in the QR code.

Constraints: {'enum': ['ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8']}

color (string, query, optional, default: 0-0-0)

Color of the data modules (QR code dots) as RGB value. Format: 'R-G-B' (decimal 0-255) or hex without #.

data (string, query, required)

The text to store within the QR code (URL-encoded). Supports 1 to ~900 characters.

Constraints: {'minLength': 1, 'maxLength': 900}

ecc (string, query, optional, default: L)

Error correction code level. Higher levels provide more redundancy but increase QR code size.

Constraints: {'enum': ['L', 'M', 'Q', 'H']}

format (string, query, optional, default: png)

Output file format for the QR code image.

Constraints: {'enum': ['png', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'svg', 'eps']}

margin (integer, query, optional, default: 1)

Thickness of a margin around the QR code in pixels (0-50).

Constraints: {'minimum': 0, 'maximum': 50}

qzone (integer, query, optional, default: 0)

Thickness of the quiet zone (margin without elements) in modules (0-100). Helps QR code readers locate the code.

Constraints: {'minimum': 0, 'maximum': 100}

size (string, query, optional, default: 200x200)

Dimensions of the QR code in format 'WIDTHxHEIGHT'. Range: 10x10 to 1000x1000 (raster) or up to 1000000x1000000 (vector).

Constraints: {'pattern': '^\\d+x\\d+$'}
