Barcode Generator

What it does

Barcode Generator turns plain text into a Code128 barcode. Send the content string in the request body, and use the output query parameter when you want to name the generated file.

Use POST /download when you need the barcode as a binary file you can store, attach, or pass into another pipeline. Use POST /link when you want a pre-signed cloud storage URL instead; the response returns a single data field containing the JPEG location.

This is a fit for order labels, inventory workflows, shipping documents, and any system that needs a machine-readable barcode from an identifier such as a SKU, ticket number, or tracking code. Keep the input simple: Barcode Generator only encodes the text you provide, and the service returns the generated barcode image in the form you requested.
