Barcode REST API

Thanks to over 300 edge servers distributed worldwide, barcode creation takes place in the cloud with low latency and maximum reliability. The software installation and maintenance is completely eliminated.

Here's an example of how to use it within your HTML page or web app:

SVG

<img src="https://api.activebarcode.net/v2/svg?code=CODE128&text=ActiveBarcode&access=YOUR-KEY-HERE" />

PNG

<img src="https://api.activebarcode.net/v2/png?code=CODE128&text=ActiveBarcode&access=YOUR-KEY-HERE" />

This creates a barcode of the type Code 128 coding the text ActiveBarcode.

• Parameters allow to create all barcodes types with properties as needed.
• You can try out and evaluate the REST API by omitting the API key. Without the access key, the barcode will be branded with a notice: "DEMO".
• The ActiveBarcode API creates SVG and PNG images to allow a wide range of applications.

Make the API call on the server

If you have the need to hide the API-key at your public html code, you can make the API call on the server. This php code snippet will give you the basic idea. You can migrate this to any other server side scripting language:

Visual Basic

A barcode with the text of the input field is called up via barcode API and drawn into the picturebox.

Excel & VBA (Visual Basic for Applications)

The value of the active cell is displayed as a barcode in an image using the barcode API.

Delphi

A barcode with the text of a input field is retrieved via Barcode API and drawn into an image.
