Barcode Scanner API — One API, Hundreds of Devices
We’ve upgraded our REST API, now called the Barcode Scanner API, with many new features that you’ve been asking for; including:
- New endpoints to add and remove users, and create, rename, and delete sheets.
- A history endpoint to track changes in your sheet, including who made them and when.
Add barcode tracking to your system without writing device-specific code. Learn more →
Free Barcode Decoders
We’ve developed a range of decoders that you can use to see all the information stored within your barcodes, from expiry dates to batch numbers and more. Enter a barcode value to see a detailed breakdown.
Our new decoders include:
