Create QR Codes Programmatically

import requests
import qrcode
from PIL import Image

# Step 1: Create a short URL with zip1.io
response = requests.post('https://zip1.io/api/create',
    json={
        'url': 'https://your-event-page.com',
        'alias': 'event2024',
        'max-clicks': 1000  # Optional: limit scans
    })

short_url = response.json()['short_url']

# Step 2: Generate QR Code
qr = qrcode.QRCode(
    version=1,
    box_size=10,
    border=5
)
qr.add_data(short_url)
qr.make(fit=True)

# Create and save QR code image
img = qr.make_image(fill_color="black", back_color="white")
img.save("event_qr_code.png")

# Step 3: Check analytics
stats = requests.get(f'https://zip1.io/api/stats/event2024')
print(f"Total scans: {stats.json()['data']['total_clicks']}")
