Shhh! Those of you who know, just go ahead and find your code 😉

For the rest of us, with an API you can integrate different programs or apps. An API is an application programming interface that connects one system to another generating interactions between them. In our case we offer both dynamic and static QR Code APIs.

Uses vary from bulk QR codes generation, to QR code with specific images or logos, QR codes for business cards, coupons, and everything you can imagine!

Let’s take a look at some examples of how the API can help your business or campaigns
