API Usage Guide

Generate QR codes and barcodes programmatically using the Squizee QR Code API:

• Base URL: https://qr.squizee.in/
• Required: value - The content to encode (e.g. text, URL, ID, etc.)
• Optional Parameters:
• bcid: Barcode type (default is qrcode). Choose from a variety of 1D or 2D barcode formats, such as code128, qrcode, and others.
• scale: Image scale (e.g., 1-20)
• height: Image height (e.g., 5-1000) for linear barcodes
• padding: Padding around the QR or barcode (default is 10)
• footer: yes or no – whether to show content text below the code
• background: Background color (hex without #, e.g., ffffff)
• barcolor: Bar (foreground) color (hex)
• fileType:
  • png (default): returns a PNG image
  • base64: returns base64 encoded image in data:image/png;base64,... format
  • base64raw: returns the raw base64 string (without prefix)
  • json: returns a JSON object containing the base64 string as "base64"

Example with Base64 Response:

https://qr.squizee.in/?value=12323349&fileType=base64

{
            "success": true,
            "image": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAeAAAAHgCAYAAAB91L6VAAAAHnRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBid2lwLWpzLm1ldGFmbG9vci5jb21Tnbi0AAAfR0lEQVR4nO3VQY4DSQ5D0d74"
            }

            }

Notes:

• If fileType is not provided, the default response will be a PNG image.
• For fileType=base64, the response will be a base64-encoded PNG image string. It will be wrapped in a data:image/png;base64, prefix for use in src attributes (e.g., <img src="data:image/png;base64,...">).
• If fileType=base64raw is provided, the response will only return the raw base64 string, without the prefix.
• If fileType=json is specified, the response will return a JSON object with the base64 string under the "base64" key.
