QR Code Reader is a QR code scanner API that decodes text and web links from uploaded QR code images. Send a JPG, PNG, or GIF file up to 10 MB to retrieve the raw encoded payload, with paid plans adding corner coordinates.
The QR Code Reader API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate qr code reader functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready qr code reader capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callQRCodeReaderAPI() { try { const requestBody = { "image": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Commons_QR_code.png" }; const response = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/qrcodereader', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify(requestBody) }); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); } catch (error) { console.error('Error:', error); } } callQRCodeReaderAPI();
Using cURL
curl -X POST "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/qrcodereader" \ -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \ -F "image=@/path/to/your-file" # Accepted formats: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif (max 10MB)
