QR Code Scanner API

Open a native QR code scanner from your web app and process scan results via URL or JavaScript.

To trigger the QR code scanner within your WebView-based iOS app, use the following HTML link format:

<a href="qrcode://">Scan QR Code</a>
    

Clicking this link will open the device’s camera to scan a QR code, and any URL encoded in the QR code will load automatically within the WebView.

Use Cases:

  • Bridging print and digital content (e.g., scanning a QR code from a magazine to open a webpage).
  • Quick access to promotions, product information, or events.
  • Securely linking users to internal app resources or specific landing pages.
