Barcodes API Wrapper for Python

Elevate your Python applications by seamlessly integrating with the Barcodes.GG API. Our Python SDK makes it easy, efficient, and user-friendly. Dive into the steps below and kick-start your barcode journey.

Prerequisites​

Ensure your environment has the requests library. If not, a quick pip installation does the trick:

pip install requests

SDK Wrapper Code​

import requests

class BarcodesAPI:
    def __init__(self, api_key):
        self.api_key = api_key
        self.base_url = "https://barcodes.gg/api"

    def make_request(self, endpoint):
        headers = {
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {self.api_key}"
        }
        response = requests.get(self.base_url + endpoint, headers=headers)
        return response.json()

    def searchProducts(self, query):
        return self.make_request(f"/product/search?query={query}")

    def lookupBarcode(self, ean, show_data=1, fields='*'):
        return self.make_request(f"/barcode/lookup/{ean}?show_data={show_data}&fields={fields}")

    def getImage(self, style_code):
        return self.make_request(f"/image/{style_code}")

    def reverseLookupBySKU(self, sku, is_verified=1, page=1):
        return self.make_request(f"/barcode/lookup/sku/{sku}?is_verified={is_verified}&page={page}")

Integration Steps​

  1. Initialization: Set the stage by introducing the BarcodesAPI class.
api = BarcodesAPI('YOUR_API_KEY')

Make sure you replace 'YOUR_API_KEY' with your authentic API key.

  1. Product Search: Embark on your product search journey with just a line of code.
print(api.searchProducts('dd1503-100'))
  1. Barcode Lookup: Unveil product details using its barcode.
print(api.lookupBarcode('195245980597'))
  1. Image Acquisition: Get your hands on product images using the style code.
print(api.getImage('DH4756-100'))
  1. SKU-based Reverse Barcode Lookup: Turn the tables by using SKU to fetch barcodes.
print(api.reverseLookupBySKU('DD1391-100'))

Each function returns the parsed JSON data, ensuring you have the freedom to process it further according to your needs.
