Quick Example

Here's a minimal example to create a Website QR code:

bash

# 1. Create a Website QR code
curl -X POST 'https://api.v2.qrcodekit.com/api/qrs' \
  -H 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "typology": "/api/qr-typologies/0598466c-025c-11ef-83ba-06c4e69992ab",
    "input": {
      "url": "https://example.com"
    },
    "title": "My First QR Code"
  }'

No X-Account-Id needed with API keysYour API key is bound to a single workspace, so requests authenticated with X-Api-Key don't need the X-Account-Id header. That header is only required with JWT tokens, where one user can belong to several workspaces.
