Release date: January 17, 2024
There's a new version of our API endpoint for QR Codes. This new endpoint has more functionality, allowing you to create QR Codes without associated links, create GS1-compliant 2D Barcodes, and more.
It's also possible to make very simple requests to the new endpoint. When you visit our site for developers to get more information about the endpoint, we have sample requests on the right side of the screen. From the dropdown in the Create QR Code section, select Minimal to view an example of a simple one.
If you currently use the Bitly API to create, edit, or retrieve QR Codes, you're likely using the previous version of this endpoint. Your requests to the previous endpoint continue to work, but moving to the new version will make more functionality available to you.
