The QR Code Generator API by API Ninjas dynamically renders high-resolution QR codes in PNG or SVG formats from any text, URL, contact card, or payment payload. It supports custom pixel dimensions, error correction levels (L, M, Q, H), and foreground/background color customization.

In Nigeria, QR codes are widely adopted for merchant contactless payments, event ticketing verification, inventory tracking, and restaurant menus. This API eliminates the need to bundle heavy client-side canvas QR rendering libraries in mobile or web apps, generating ready-to-display images via a simple HTTP GET request.
