Scan API: What's Included
In this article
Use iPad cameras to scan UPC barcodes and QR codes
Supported in:
Our native camera scanning API relies on the open-source ZBar Scanner SDK and supports both QR codes and standard UPC codes, including EAN, ISBN, and Code 39, 93, and 128.
You can also configure which camera to use by default for scanning - the front camera, which is lower-resolution but often more accessible in a kiosk, or the back camera, which produces a higher-resolution image, which often results in a faster and more accurate scan.
Once a scan is triggered, the viewport for the native iOS camera is shown full-screen to allow the visitor to easily position the code for scanning. When the code is positioned in a way that the camera is able to focus, the camera automatically captures the code and interprets it, returning the data from the barcode to your code as a callback function.
