Barcode REST API

The ActiveBarcode API generates barcodes as SVG or PNG images, enabling compatibility with diverse applications. Use SVG for scalable, high-quality barcodes ideal for web and print applications requiring resizing without loss of clarity. Use PNG for fixed-size, raster-based images suitable for applications where broad compatibility with various platforms and software, including older systems, is needed.

access= You can evaluate the REST API by omitting the API key. The barcode is watermarked and intended for evaluation purposes only. Use the API key included in your order confirmation instead of the placeholder. Your API key will remain active until you cancel your subscription. api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?access=YOUR-KEY-HERE

text= Sets the text that you want to display as a barcode. This may be an article number or a text message like "Hello World!". Make sure this parameter is URL-Encoded. You can enter control codes in human readable form like this: <CR>, <LF>, ... api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?text=ActiveBarcode api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?text=Hello%20World! api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?text=Hello<CR>World! api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?text=Hello<TAB>World! api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?text=(10)451214<FNC1>(37)20&typeno=108

typeno= Barcode type as number that you want to use for encoding i.e.: 14 (=CODE128) api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?typeno=14 code= Set barcode type as a human readable name that you want to use for encoding i.e.: CODE128 api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?code=CODE128 Select the barcode by typeno or code. The typeno parameter takes precedence and is shorter, but less memorable. typeno= code= Description 0 ISBN ISBN-10 1 EAN13 EAN 13 2 EAN8 EAN 8 3 EAN5 EAN 5 4 EAN2 EAN 2 5 UPCA UPC A 6 CODE39 Code 39 7
