API Reference & Integration
Connect your existing software to Lifetime QR Codes. Automate QR code generation, management, and analytics tracking through our developer API.
Introduction to the Lifetime QR Codes API
The Lifetime QR Codes API allows developers to programmatically interact with our platform. Whether you need to generate thousands of QR codes for an inventory system, automate the update of redirect URLs, or pull scan analytics into your own BI dashboard, our RESTful API provides the infrastructure to do it at scale.
Authentication
All API requests require an API Key. You can generate and manage your keys from the API section in your account settings.
Keep your API keys secure. Do not share them in public repositories or client-side code.
