API & Developer Tools
If your team can write a curl command, your team can generate QR codes at scale.
The dashboard is great for one-off codes and small batches. But if you're generating QR codes as part of a larger workflow — a signup flow, an order system, a content pipeline — you don't want a human clicking through a UI. QuickCode's REST API gives you full programmatic control over the same platform.
What you can build
- Create, update, and delete QR codes on demand, from your own application or backend job
- Fetch analytics for any code — scan counts, location, device breakdown — and pipe it into your own dashboards or reports
- Automate at the moment of need — generate a code the instant an order ships, an account is created, or a product is listed, instead of batching it manually later
Authentication
API access is secured with key/token-based authentication. Generate a key from your dashboard, send it with each request, and you're authenticated — no OAuth dance required for standard use.
Get started fast
curl -X POST https://[yourquickcode.com]/api/qrcodes \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"type": "url", "content": "https://example.com"}'Code samples are available in curl and via SDK for common languages, so you can go from API key to first QR code in minutes, not an afternoon.
Rate limits & plan gating
API access and request limits scale with your plan — see current limits in the full API reference before you architect around them.
