create_qr_code

Create a new managed QR code with optional custom styling. The QR code points to a short URL that redirects to your target URL. You can change the target URL later without regenerating the QR image. Supports custom colors, dot shapes, corner shapes, and logo embedding.

get_qr_code

Retrieve details of an existing QR code by its short ID. Returns the current target URL, metadata, and timestamps.

update_qr_destination

Change where an existing QR code redirects to. This is the key 'dynamic link' feature: the QR image stays the same, but scanning it will now go to the new URL. Ideal for updating campaigns, fixing broken links, or A/B testing.

list_qr_codes

List all managed QR codes with pagination. Returns short IDs, target URLs, labels, and timestamps. Use this to browse or search for existing QR codes.

delete_qr_code
