Generate barcode SVGs from a simple endpoint for internal tools and prototypes.
Send a supported barcode format and value, then receive SVG barcode artwork.
/api/barcode?format=code128&text=QRCODEQ-123The barcode API is meant for internal previews, docs, and small automation tasks. It is deliberately simple: send a format and value, get SVG artwork back, then validate the result inside your own workflow before printing at scale.
It supports the barcode formats wired into the site, including common 1D and 2D formats used by the generators.
Use it only after validating the value, format, scanner support, and print output. It creates artwork, not official product data.
The first version is intended as a simple generator endpoint. Still, avoid sending private data through URL query strings.
The endpoint returns an error instead of artwork. Validate values before calling the API when the barcode is part of an automated workflow.
No. The API creates barcode artwork from values you provide. To get official UPC or EAN numbers for retail, register with GS1 for a company prefix.
It supports the same formats available in the site's generators, including Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF-14, Data Matrix, PDF417, and others. Check the API documentation for the full list of supported symbologies.
It performs basic format checks and returns an error for clearly invalid values. But you should still validate numbers against your own records before using the output, especially for retail barcodes.
You can, but validate every value first, cache repeated requests, and always scan a printed sample before running a batch. The API generates artwork, so print quality and scanner testing are still your responsibility.
Pick a barcode format, enter a value, and download print-ready artwork with check digit validation.
Create Code 128 barcodes for inventory, SKU labels, and shipping references.
Create Data Matrix codes for small parts, electronics, and space-limited labels.
Use a simple endpoint to generate static QR SVGs for technical workflows.
