QR code

API

Generate easy-to-read QR codes and shorten URLs via API

Overview

This RESTful API provides endpoints to create high-readability QR codes and shorten long URLs. Key endpoints include QR code generation (with parameters for content, size, error correction level, and output format like PNG/SVG) and URL shortening (accepting long URLs to return compact links). QR code responses are image files, while URL shortening returns JSON with shortened links and metadata. Ideal use cases: Integrating into apps for product labels, event tickets, marketing materials, or content management systems to simplify link sharing and QR code creation.

script.js JS


fetch('https://www.qrtag.net/api/')
