  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN" \

    "svg": "<svg ...>...</svg>",
    "dataUrl": "data:image/svg+xml;...",
    "width": 256,
    "height": 256
  }
}
```

## About

## What it does
QR Code Generator turns a string of text into a valid SVG QR code. Send a required `text` value in the request body, and you can also set `format` to either `json` or `svg`.

Use it when you need a QR code for a URL, payment link, onboarding flow, product label, or offline handoff. Because the endpoint returns a valid SVG QR code, it fits well in web apps, print layouts, and any workflow that needs a crisp, scalable code rather than a raster image.

The input is intentionally small: just the text you want encoded, with no extra fields to manage. That makes it easy to generate codes from user-entered strings, generated links, or internal identifiers without adding formatting logic in your app.

The default response is JSON containing the SVG markup, a data URL for use in an `img` tag, and the image size. Set `format` to `svg` to get the raw SVG file instead, so you can treat this as a focused generation step in a larger document or asset pipeline.

## Usage

Base URL: `https://api.eu.apyhub.com` (default region — see
`GET https://apyhub.com/api/public/regions` for the rest).

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
