QR Code Website Generator

This Apify Actor runs as a web service (Standby Mode) to generate QR codes on-demand. It accepts a list of URLs/texts and returns a fully rendered HTML page displaying the generated QR codes with their associated names.

Features

• Real-time Generation: Generates QR codes instantly via HTTP requests.
• HTML Output: Returns a responsive, styling HTML page directly in the response.
• Pay-Per-Event Pricing: You are charged strictly for the number of QR codes generated.
• Input Mapping: Associates custom names with each QR code for easy identification.
