QR Code API Guide: Generate and Manage Codes Programmatically

    Jese Leos

    Automate QR code creation, updates, and lifecycle management with the QR Cake API.

    When to use the API

    Use the API when you need to create or update QR codes in bulk, sync with internal tools, or trigger codes from product workflows.

    Typical API workflow

    1. Create API key
    2. Create QR product
    3. Store product ID in your system
    4. Update destination when campaign changes
    5. Pull data for reporting and governance

    Best practices

    • Use clear naming conventions by campaign/channel.
    • Keep destination URLs validated before write operations.
    • Separate test and production keys.
    • Monitor usage and permissions regularly.

    Where to start

    Read API docs, manage keys in Dashboard API, then create your first code to test the flow end-to-end.
