Barcode Generator is a simple tool for generating barcodes from data. It returns a URL to the generated image of the barcode.
The Barcode Generator API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate barcode generator functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready barcode generator capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callBarcodeGeneratorAPI() {
try {
const requestBody = {
"data": "51001544700",
"type": "code128",
"lineColor": "#000000",
"backgroundColor": "#FFFFFF",
"displayValue": true
};
const response = await fetch('https://api.apiverve.com/v1/barcodegenerator', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(requestBody)
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callBarcodeGeneratorAPI();Using cURL
curl -X POST "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/barcodegenerator" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"data": "51001544700",
