## Pricing

from $0.0015 / qr code generated

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## QR Code Generator — Bulk PNG & SVG

**Generate QR codes in bulk** from URLs, text, WiFi credentials or contact data — as **PNG or SVG**, with custom size, quiet-zone margin, colors and error-correction level. One image per value, saved straight to your storage.

### What it does

- Encodes any list of URLs/text into **QR codes**.
- **PNG or SVG** output, custom **size**, **margin** and **foreground/background colors**.
- Choose **error-correction level** (higher survives damage or a center logo).

### Use cases

- **Marketing & events** — bulk QR codes for links, tickets, menus and posters.
- **Product & packaging** — per-SKU QR codes at scale.
- **WiFi / vCard** — generate connect-to-WiFi or contact QR codes in a batch.

### Input

```json
{ "values": ["https://apify.com", "Hello world"], "format": "png", "size": 512, "errorCorrectionLevel": "M" }
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `values` | array | URLs/text to encode — one QR per entry. |
| `format` | string | `png` or `svg`. |
| `size` | integer | PNG size in pixels. |
| `margin` | integer | Quiet-zone border (modules). |
| `errorCorrectionLevel` | string | `L`, `M`, `Q` or `H`. |
| `darkColor` / `lightColor` | string | Foreground / background colors. |

### Output

```json
{ "value": "https://apify.com", "imageUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/qr-0001.png", "format": "png" }
```

#### Output schema

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `value` | string | The encoded value. |
| `imageUrl` | string (URL) | Link to the QR image in your key-value store. |
| `format` | string | `png` or `svg`. |

### FAQ

**Can I encode WiFi or vCard QR codes?** Yes — pass the standard `WIFI:...` or `BEGIN:VCARD...` strings as values.

**Can I automate it?** Yes — via [integrations on the Apify platform](https://apify.com/integrations) and the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2).

### Notes

Original clean-room implementation.

# Actor input Schema

## `values` (type: `array`):

URLs, text, or any data to turn into QR codes — one QR image per entry.

## `format` (type: `string`):

Image format for the QR codes.

## `size` (type: `integer`):

Width/height of the PNG in pixels.

## `margin` (type: `integer`):

White border around the QR, in modules.

## `errorCorrectionLevel` (type: `string`):

Higher levels stay scannable even if the code is partly damaged or has a logo.

## `darkColor` (type: `string`):

Foreground (module) color.

## `lightColor` (type: `string`):

Background color.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "values": [
    "https://example.com",
    "WIFI:S:MyNetwork;T:WPA;P:pass123;;"
  ],
  "format": "png",
  "size": 512,
  "margin": 2,
  "errorCorrectionLevel": "M",
  "darkColor": "#000000",
  "lightColor": "#ffffff"
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

The results as dataset items.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "values": [
        "https://apify.com",
        "Hello world"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("hipersoft/qr-code-generator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "values": [
        "https://apify.com",
        "Hello world",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("hipersoft/qr-code-generator").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "values": [
    "https://apify.com",
    "Hello world"
  ]
}' |
apify call hipersoft/qr-code-generator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hipersoft/qr-code-generator"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
