Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## QR Code Toolkit — Bulk Generate with Custom Colors & Logos Generate QR codes in bulk with custom dark/light colors, logo overlays, configurable error correction, and multiple output formats (PNG, SVG, base64). 10 QR codes. --- ### Why this exists Existing QR code actors on Apify only generate basic black-and-white codes. This actor adds: - **Custom colors** — any dark/light hex color combination - **Logo overlay** — place your brand logo in the center of the QR code (requires H error correction) - **SVG output** — vector format, infinitely scalable - **Base64 output** — embed directly in HTML/email without hosting - **Configurable error correction** — L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30% — required for logos) - **Bulk generation** — hundreds of codes in one run --- ### Quick start ```json { "items": [ { "mode": "generate", "generate": { "text": "https://example.com", "size": 400, "darkColor": "#1a1a2e", "lightColor": "#ffffff" } } ] } ```` *** ### Generate options | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `text` | string | *(required)* | Text, URL, or data to encode | | `size` | integer | `400` | QR code width/height in pixels | | `errorCorrectionLevel` | enum | `M` | L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%). Use H if adding a logo. | | `darkColor` | string | `#000000` | Hex color for dark modules | | `lightColor` | string | `#ffffff` | Hex color for light/background | | `format` | enum | `png` | `png`, `svg`, or `base64` | | `logoUrl` | string | *(optional)* | URL to a logo image. Overlaid in the center. Use error correction H. | | `logoScale` | number | `0.2` | Logo size as fraction of QR code (0.1–0.3 recommended) | | `margin` | integer | `2` | Quiet zone modules around the QR code | *** ### Output Generated QR codes are stored in the **Key-Value Store**. Each item also produces a dataset entry: ```json { "mode": "generate", "text": "https://example.com", "outputKey": "qr-https___example_com.png", "outputFormat": "png", "outputSize": 1847, "status": "success", "error": null } ``` For `base64` format, the dataset entry includes a `base64` field with the full data URL. *** ### Pricing **$0.003 per QR code generated** (pay-per-event pricing). - Errors and dry runs are never charged. - 100 QR codes = $0.30 - 1,000 QR codes = $3.00 *** ### Limitations - **QR decoding** reads QR codes from image URLs. Pass `mode: "decode"` with `decode: { imageUrl: "..." }`. Returns the decoded text. - **Logo overlay increases file size** and requires error correction level H for reliable scanning. - **SVG format does not support logo overlay** — use PNG for logos. - **Maximum text length depends on error correction level.** L supports more data, H supports less. Typical max: ~2,000 characters at level M. *** ### Related actors in this suite Other tools by [accurate\_pouch](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch) for content + asset workflows: - **[PDF Toolkit](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/pdf-toolkit)** — Text, metadata, page count. $0.004/PDF. - **[Google Sheets R/W](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/google-sheets-rw)** — Read, append, replace, modify, backup. $0.004/op. - **[TheCrawler](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/the-crawler)** — Web scraper + LLM-powered structured extraction.
