QR Code Generator

This Apify Actor generates QR code images from a list of input values (such as URLs, plain text, or any other string). It outputs a ZIP file containing all generated QR codes in PNG format and provides a count of successfully generated codes.

📥 Input

The actor expects the following input in JSON format:

{
  "urls": ["https://example.com", "Hello, world!", "mailto:support@example.com"]
}

📥 Input Fields

The actor expects the following input:

• urls (array of strings, required):
  A list of values to encode into QR codes. Each value can be a URL, plain text, email address, phone number, or any other string.

Example Input

{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com",
    "Hello, world!",
    "mailto:contact@example.com",
    "tel:+1234567890"
  ]
}

📤 Output

The output of the QR Code Generator contains the following data:

• input_value: The value that was used to generate the QR code.
• filename: The filename of the generated QR code image (e.g., qr_code_1.png).
• index: The index of the QR code in the list of input values.

Each generated QR code will be represented as a record with these fields.

Example Output:

Input Value	Filename	Index
https://example.com	qr_code_1.png	1
Hello world	qr_code_2.png	2
https://apify.com	qr_code_3.png	3

In the above table:

• Input Value is the text or URL that was used to generate the QR code.
• Filename is the generated QR code image's filename.
• Index represents the position of the input value in the original list of QR code values.

You can download the generated QR codes as a ZIP file, or access the individual QR code images from the Apify key-value store.

📁 Example Output Files

After the actor runs, you will get the following output in the key-value store:

• qr_code_1.png
• qr_code_2.png
• ...
• qr_code_N.png
• qr_codes.zip

The .png files are individual QR codes generated for each input value.
The qr_codes.zip file contains all of the above images bundled together in a single downloadable archive.

💡 Notes

• QR codes are generated for each input string provided, not just URLs — you can input text, emails, phone numbers, or any string.
• Filenames follow the format: qr_code_<index>.png, where <index> corresponds to the order of input.
