Quickstart: your first QR in 5 minutes

Follow these 3 steps to create your first QR code through the API. No dependencies required.

1

Get your API key

Sign in to the dashboard and create a new key from /app/api-keys. Pick the scopes qr:read and qr:write.

# Store your key in an environment variable
export IZIQR_API_KEY="izi_live_a3f24c8e9b1d7e2f6a8c4b9d3e5f1a7b2c9..."
2

Create your first QR code

Send a POST to /api/v1/qr:

curl -X POST https://iziqrcode.com/api/v1/qr \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $IZIQR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "url",
    "name": "My first campaign",
    "dynamic": true,
    "data": { "url": "https://example.com" },
    "design": { "fgColor": "#8b78ff", "shape": "rounded" }
  }'

You should get a 201 Created:

201 Created
{
  "id": "qr_abc123def456",
  "shortCode": "x7K2P9",
  "type": "url",
  "name": "My first campaign",
  "dynamic": true,
  "shortUrl": "https://iziqr.co/x7K2P9",
  "qrImageUrl": "https://iziqrcode.com/api/v1/qr/qr_abc123def456/image",
  "scanCount": 0,
  "createdAt": "2026-05-18T10:00:00Z"
}

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $IZIQR_API_KEY" \
