Frequently Asked Questions

What authentication method does the QR-Verse API use?
The API uses API key authentication via Bearer tokens. Include your API key in the Authorization header as "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY". You can generate and manage API keys from your account dashboard.
What QR code types can I create through the API?
All QR code types available in the web interface are also available via API: URL, vCard (contact cards), WiFi network credentials, email, SMS, plain text, and more. Each type has its own data schema documented in the OpenAPI spec.
How does bulk QR code creation work?
Business plan users can send an array of up to 500 QR code objects in a single POST request to the bulk endpoint. Each code can have different types, data, and styling. The API returns all created codes with their IDs and short URLs.
What happens when I hit the rate limit?
Every API response includes rate limit headers: X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset. When you exceed your limit, the API returns a 429 status code with the reset timestamp. Pro plans get 100 calls/day, Business plans get 10,000.
Can I customize the appearance of QR codes via API?
Yes. The API accepts style parameters including foreground color, background color, error correction level, and output format (SVG or PNG). The same customization options available in the web generator are available through the API.
How do webhooks for scan events work?
Business plan users can register webhook URLs from the dashboard. When any of your QR codes is scanned, we send a POST request to your webhook URL with scan details: QR code ID, timestamp, location (country/city), device type, and referrer. Webhooks use HMAC signatures for verification.
Is the API available on the Free plan?
No. API access requires a Pro plan (EUR 4.99/month) or Business plan (EUR 12.99/month). The Free plan includes the web-based QR generator but not programmatic API access.
Can I retrieve analytics data through the API?
Yes. Both Pro and Business plans include API access to scan analytics. You can retrieve total scan counts, scans over time (daily/weekly/monthly), geographic breakdown by country and city, device types, and top referrers for any of your QR codes.
