Why teams choose QR Nova
The Stripe of QR codes
Most QR code APIs are an afterthought — bolted onto a dashboard product, poorly documented, with opaque rate limits. QR Nova's API was built API-first with Stripe-quality conventions: consistent error envelopes, scoped authentication, and a machine-readable OpenAPI spec.
Build with our API
Everything you need, nothing you don't
15 endpoints across QR codes, analytics, export, and key management. All return a consistent { data, request_id } envelope.
What teams automate with the API
Product packaging
Generate a unique QR for every SKU. Upload via CSV or automate from your warehouse system. Track which products get scanned most.
Marketing campaigns
Create QRs for every flyer, poster, and print ad. Read scan analytics by city, device, and time. A/B test physical creatives.
Custom dashboards
Pull scan data into your own BI tools. Build internal dashboards. Export to Looker, Metabase, or Google Sheets.
Workflow automation
Trigger QR creation from Zapier, Make, or n8n. Connect scans to your CRM. Bridge physical and digital.
Common questions
How much does API access cost?
Included on every paid plan — Starter ($9/mo), Business ($29/mo), and Premium ($79/mo). No per-call charges. Unlimited requests.
Are there rate limits?
Only burst rate limiting to protect infrastructure. No monthly quotas. If you hit a burst limit, the Retry-After header tells you when to retry.
Can AI agents use the API?
Yes. The OpenAPI 3.1 spec includes plan matrices, scope mappings, and response schemas that AI agents can parse for autonomous operation.
What happens if I cancel?
Your QR codes keep working forever — redirects are permanent. You lose API access and analytics, but no links break. Ever.
Is there an SDK?
A TypeScript SDK is on the roadmap. For now, the OpenAPI spec works with openapi-typescript to generate typed clients.
