x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev · qr-code-decode

QR decoder / QR reader / scan QR from URL / QR code OCR / barcode reader / link extraction from QR. Reads QR codes out of any public image URL (PNG / JPG / GIF / BMP) and returns the decoded text strings. Multiple QR codes in a single image are returned as separate entries. Wraps qrserver.com's free public read-qr-code API (true DIY decode requires canvas, which Workers don't have natively). Returns an empty `codes` array plus a descriptive `note` if the image can't be fetched or no QR is found.

// npm i x402-fetch viem
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "x402-fetch";
import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { base } from "viem/chains";

const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY); // funds USDC on Base
const wallet = createWalletClient({ account, chain: base, transport: http() });
const fetchWithPay = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, wallet);

// Pays the $0.002 USDC automatically on the 402, then returns the real response:
const res = await fetchWithPay("https://x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev/qr-code-decode", { method: "POST" });
console.log(await res.json());

# pip install x402 eth-account httpx
import os, asyncio
from eth_account import Account
from x402.clients.httpx import x402HttpxClient

account = Account.from_key(os.environ["PRIVATE_KEY"])  # funds USDC on Base

async def main():
    async with x402HttpxClient(account=account) as client:
        # x402 handles the 402 -> pay ($0.002 USDC) -> retry automatically
        r = await client.get("https://x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev/qr-code-decode")
        print((await r.aread()).decode())

# 1) An unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with the exact payment terms:
curl -i -X POST "https://x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev/qr-code-decode" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"image_url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d0/QR_code_for_mobile_English_Wikipedia.svg/1200px-QR_code_for_mobile_English_Wikipedia.svg.png"}'

# 2) Paying + retrying requires an x402 client that can sign the USDC
#    authorization (curl alone cannot). See the JS / Python tabs below.
