Get a QR code image

GET /short_urls/:short_url_token/qrcode

This returns a chunked PNG.

The following HTML example shows how the QR code of a short URL can be included dynamically in a web page (place the HTML between angle brackets):

 img src="https://api.r-service.tech/v1/short_urls/dUD3Rb/qrcode"

The example below shows how the QR code of a short URL can be downloaded as a PNG image file with the name filename.png :

 $ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <oauth-token>" \
        -H "account: dc" \
        -X GET \
        https://api.r-service.tech/v1/short_urls/dUD3Rb/qrcode > filename.png

Reserving multiple short URLs

Multiple short URLs can be generated in bulk using the following API call:

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <oauth-token>" \
       -H "account: dc" \
       -X POST \
       https://api.r-service.tech/v1/short_urls/reserve?amount=1000

The example above generates 1000 short URLs without a URI. Once these short URLs have been generated, they are reserved for the account. These reserved URLs can then be exported and used to order QR codes or NFC tags in bulk.

The response from the API is a token that acts as the unique identifier for the job. This token can be used to retrieve information about the progress of the job.

Status: 200 OK

{
  "token": "69ea3...1e7133"
}

It is important to note that the API user needs to have the Configuration Manager or Account Administrator role to be able to reserve short URLs using the API. In the example above, the API user specifically needs to have the Configuration Manager or Account Administrator role of the account which id is “dc”. The Authentication section describes how the api-token of the API user can be found.

In the example above it would not be necessary to specify -H "account: dc" provided that the Person record of the API user is registered in the account which id is “dc”.

Parameter

The following parameter is supported:

amount

Required integer — The number of short URLs that are to be generated for the account. A maximum of 10,000 can be reserved at any time per account.

Job progress

The reservation process runs as a background job. It is possible to check the progress of a job automatically using the token received from the job response.

Five minutes after the job is completed, the progress information is not available anymore through the API.

Example:

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <oauth-token>" \
       -H "account: dc" \
       -X GET
       https://api.r-service.tech/v1/short_urls/reserve/69ea3...1e7133

Depending on the state of the job, one of the following responses is returned:

Queued

Status: 200 OK

{
  "state": "queued"
}

The job is scheduled for execution.

Processing

Status: 200 OK

{
  "state": "processing",
  "message": "Reserved 700 Short URLs"
}

The job is being processed.

Done

Status: 200 OK

{
  "state": "done"
}

The job is complete.

Note that if the process was able to recover from an error, the state done is returned. The response contains the state error as outlined below only when an error prevented the job from completing.

Error

Status: 200 OK

{
  "state": "error",
  "message": "..."
}

The job was aborted prematurely because of an unrecoverable error. A short description of the issue is provided in the message attribute. More detailed information can be found in the Job Log . Errors should always be investigated.

Not Found

Status: 404 Not Found

The job was completed more than 5 minutes ago, so no progress information is available anymore. Information on the completed job can still be found in the Job Log .

Job log

Each job that is complete (with or without errors) is entered in the System Logs of the Settings console. Log into R-Service as an Account Administrator and go to Settings => System Logs and select the Job Log view to see them all.

The Level column will contain Fatal in case an error has occurred.
