API Response

When a QR code is detected, the API response will include a qrCodeData object:

{
  "entities": {
    "qrCodeData": {
      "data": "01,10,031001900211,15004826,109.72,20190617,11467310187259010073,908E",
      "text": "01,10,031001900211,15004826,109.72,20190617,11467310187259010073,908E"
    }
  }
}

Country-Specific Importance

While this feature is globally applicable, it's particularly valuable for receipts and invoices from certain countries where QR codes are standardised or mandated. For example:

• Brazil: QR codes on fiscal receipts (Nota Fiscal Eletrônica) for SEFAZ compliance.
• India: QR codes on B2C invoices for businesses with high turnover, containing GST details.
• China: QR codes on digital payment receipts (WeChat, Alipay) for transaction details.
• Saudi Arabia: QR codes required on tax invoices as part of e-invoicing (FATOORAH) initiative.
• Singapore: SGQR unified QR code system widely used for payments.
• Mexico: QR codes on digital invoices (CFDI) for quick tax authority verification.
• And more: Many other countries are adopting QR codes for financial documents, with varying standards and regulations.
