QR Code Generator API Documentation

Easily generate QR codes dynamically using our API. Below you'll find all the necessary information to integrate the API into your application, including request details, parameters, and response formats.

---

Base URL

https://qrcodegenerator.pw/api/v1/generate_qr.php

Request Methods

The API supports both GET and POST requests for maximum flexibility.

Authentication

All requests require a valid API token. Include your token in the request as shown below:

?token=your_api_token

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
data	string	The content to encode in the QR code (e.g., a URL, plain text).
size	integer (optional)	Dimensions of the QR code in pixels. Default: 300.
color	string (optional)	Hex code for the QR code's foreground color. Default: #000000 (black).
background_color	string (optional)	Hex code for the QR code's background color. Default: #FFFFFF (white).

Sample Request

Below is an example of a GET request to generate a QR code:

https://qrcodegenerator.pw/api/v1/generate_qr.php?token=your_api_token&data=https://yourwebsite.com&size=300&color=FF5733&background_color=FFFFFF

Response

If the request is successful, the API will return the QR code as a PNG image. For invalid requests, a JSON error response will be returned:

{
    "error": "Rate limit exceeded. Try again later."
}

Rate Limits

Each API token has usage limits. If the rate limit is exceeded, you'll receive the error message: {"error": "Rate limit exceeded. Try again later."}.

Example Code (cURL)

Generate a QR code using the following cURL command:

curl -X GET "https://qrcodegenerator.pw/api/v1/generate_qr.php?token=your_api_token&data=https://yourwebsite.com&size=300&color=000000&background_color=FFFFFF"

Code Samples

Here's a simple example in Python for using the API:

import requests

url = "https://qrcodegenerator.pw/api/v1/generate_qr.php"
params = {
    "token": "your_api_token",
    "data": "https://yourwebsite.com",
    "size": 300,
    "color": "FF5733",
    "background_color": "FFFFFF"
}
response = requests.get(url, params=params)

if response.status_code == 200:
    with open("qr_code.png", "wb") as f:
        f.write(response.content)
else:
    print(response.json())
