API

QR codes from your own backend

Create codes in bulk from your systems and repoint dynamic codes when a campaign changes. Authenticate with a key issued in your account: send it as x-api-key or as a bearer token.

GET/api/public/v1/codes

List your codes, paginated, filterable by static or dynamic.

POST/api/public/v1/codes

Create a static or dynamic code and get back its short URL.

GET/api/public/v1/codes/:id

Read a single code with its content, design and scan count.

PATCH/api/public/v1/codes/:id

Rename, pause, or repoint a dynamic code to a new destination.

DELETE/api/public/v1/codes/:id

Archive a code: the short link stops resolving, analytics stay.
