You can request PNG, SVG, or WEBP via the format field. The response includes imageBase64 and metadata such as errorCorrectionLevel, scanVerified, and qualityScore.

Does the API store generated QR codes?

No. The service is stateless; images are generated on demand and not persisted by the API.

You POST JSON to slash generate on the RapidAPI host with your API key. The body includes data or URL to encode plus options like size, errorCorrectionLevel, colors, quietZone, format, and optional logo.

Advanced QR Code Generator API

Subscribe on RapidAPI

Basic: 25 requests/mo. Pro is the recommended plan—see pricing & quotas.

Production QR code generator API for developers: encode URLs or text, add a logo, set brand colors and error correction (L–H), export PNG, SVG, or WEBP. JSON response includes imageBase64, scanVerified, and qualityScore—so you know your codes will scan in the wild.

REST API for QR codes (RapidAPI)

Use this QR code REST API to generate QR codes programmatically from your backend, mobile app, or automation—without running your own QR engine. Ideal for marketing campaigns, event tickets, restaurant menus, payment links, and Wi‑Fi QR codes. One POST /generate call returns a ready-to-display image plus validation signals.

Hosted on RapidAPI with standard x-rapidapi-key and x-rapidapi-host headers. Stateless: nothing stored after the request completes.

Why use this API?

Shipping reliable QR codes is harder than calling a bitmap library: contrast, quiet zone, error correction, and logo placement all affect scan success. This API bakes in scan verification and quality scoring so you can trust output for customer-facing flows.

What the API does

POST /generate accepts JSON (e.g. data, size, format, errorCorrectionLevel, colors, quietZone, optional logo with base64 image). Returns JSON with imageBase64, format metadata, scanVerified, qualityScore, and optional warnings.

Common use cases

Marketing & growth

Landing pages, UTM links, app download URLs, and print ads—generate consistent, branded QR codes via API.

Tickets & events

High error correction and validated output help codes scan under poor lighting or damaged print.

Product & packaging

SVG output scales for print; PNG and WEBP suit web and email.
