Artistic QR code

curl -X POST "$DOATHING_API/v1/codes/qr-art" \
  -H "x-api-key: $DOATHING_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "https://doathing.com", "file": {"filename": "logo.png", "content_type": "image/png", "data_b64": "<base64>"}, "options": {"core_percent": 45, "image_fade": 55}}'

Your image halftoned behind the code, still scannable, and far better looking than a plain black square.

Halftone a source image behind a QR code's modules, preserving scannability at high error correction.

Input

Send a file object with base64 data_b64, its content_type and a filename. Accepted types: image/png, image/jpeg, image/webp, image/gif, image/tiff.

The declared type is not trusted — the bytes are sniffed and a contradiction is rejected rather than corrected.

Response

The result carries your remaining balance alongside it, so you can track spend without a second call.

Cost

2 credits per call, whether it is run from the site or from the API — the credential differs, the price does not. A new account starts with 20 credits.

A rejected request still costs a credit: the authorizer decrements before the tool validates. A call rejected for a missing or invalid key is free.
