One request, one image
Data and symbology go in as URL parameters; a barcode image comes back.
Barcode REST API
Barcodes over HTTP. Any stack, any platform.
Request a barcode by URL and get an image back – no installation, no platform lock-in, the same engine behind every TEC-IT product.
Not every application can host a component. The TBarCode API turns barcode generation into a plain HTTP request: pass data and symbology as parameters, receive a ready image – from web backends, mobile apps, low-code tools or scripts on any operating system.
Barcode generation as a service call.
Request barcode images from the applications and services you already run. Send the data and barcode settings over HTTP, then use the returned image.
Platform independent
Anything that speaks HTTP works – .NET, Java, PHP, Python, Node, low-code tools.
Same engine everywhere
Identical output to the SDKs and desktop products – 100+ symbologies, standards-compliant.
Send data. Receive a barcode image.
A small HTTP integration connects your application to barcode generation.
Build the request.
Pass the data and barcode type from your application to the service in a web request.

Frequently asked questions
Learn more about TBarCode API.
How do I integrate barcode generation into my application?
You send an HTTP request containing your data and the required barcode type. The API returns a barcode image that you can use in your application.
Do I need to install a barcode component on the client?
No. You do not need to install a barcode component on the client. Your application only needs to be able to send HTTP requests.
Which barcode image formats can the API return?
The API returns barcode images as GIF, JPG, PNG or SVG. You can also embed these images directly through a URL.
Does the API support 1D, 2D and GS1 barcode types?
Yes. The API supports more than 100 barcode symbologies, including linear barcodes, 2D codes and GS1 barcodes.
Can I specify the barcode size and resolution?
Yes. You can set the size and resolution through HTTP request parameters. You pass the data and barcode type in the same request.
