Starting your journey

To start using our services, you need to familiarize yourself with our different membership plans. These plans are tailored to cater to your needs and can be found on our landing page. To try the API first, sign in and click Activate free trial. The trial gives 100 requests for 7 days and needs no payment method. Each account can use the trial one time. Resale prices are not in the trial.

Accessing the Dashboard

Once you have a plan in mind, you can proceed to access your dashboard by clicking on the Dashboard button. We support sign-in using your favorite social login, including Google, Facebook, GitHub, or Discord. After signing in, you can access all the features of your chosen plan from the dashboard.

Creating an API Key

To use our API, you will first need to create an API key. This can be done by navigating to the tokens section in your dashboard. Here, you can create a new token and apply specific roles to it.

Important: The API key is only visible once after creation. Make sure to copy it and keep it safe because it will be hidden subsequently for security reasons. If you lose it, you will have to delete the old one and generate a new API key.

An API key is secret. Use it only on your server. For barcode lookups from a web page, create a publishable key (pk_...) in the same section.

Proceeding with Requests

After successfully creating your API key, you can proceed to make requests to our API. To learn how to do this, check out our next documentation post that covers how our endpoints work. The document provides a detailed guide on how to use our API to get the most out of our service.

Summary

In essence, getting started with Barcodes.gg involves understanding our membership plans, signing up via your preferred social login, creating an API key, and then making requests. We hope you find our services useful and should you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team.

Welcome on board!
