Generate a static QR code from any text/URL. Returns a PNG image (or SVG markup). Requires an OpenQR API key.

Create an editable (dynamic) QR code whose destination you can change later without reprinting. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Edit a dynamic QR code: change its destination, label, custom short link (slug), tags or folder. Pass only the fields you want to change. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Get the full details of one of your QR codes by id: destination, short link, label, type, tags, folder, status and created date. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Get scan statistics for a dynamic QR code. Requires an OpenQR API key.

List your dynamic (editable) QR codes — id, short URL, destination, label and status. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Permanently delete a dynamic QR code. The short link stops working. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Create up to 200 dynamic QR codes at once. Requires an OpenQR API key.

List your folders (id and name). Requires an OpenQR API key.

Create a folder to organise codes. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Delete a folder (its codes are un-filed, not deleted). Requires an OpenQR API key.

List your saved style themes (id, name) — apply one by passing its id or name as `theme` to generate/create/update tools. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Save a reusable style theme. `style` is a QR style object (fgColor, bgColor, dotType, cornerSquareType, etc.). Requires an OpenQR API key.

Delete a saved theme. Codes already styled with it keep their look. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Show the branded subdomain on this account ({name}.oqr.to). Reports whether it is currently suspended — a suspended subdomain redirects to the plain short link instead of serving, which happens when a Pro plan lapses. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Claim or change the branded subdomain so codes also resolve at {name}.oqr.to. Pro only. Codes keep working on the plain short link either way, so changing this never breaks anything already printed. Requires an OpenQR API key.

Release the branded subdomain. Codes stay live on the plain short link; only the {name}.oqr.to form stops resolving. The name becomes claimable by someone else. Requires an OpenQR API key.
