Wi-Fi Wireless Network QR Code Generation API

Category: QR Code & Barcode
Endpoint: POST https://api.gugudata.io/v1/wifi-qrcode?appkey={{appkey}}
Description: API for generating Wi-Fi wireless network QR codes

Overview

The Wi-Fi Wireless Network QR Code Generation API by GuGuData creates scannable QR codes that automatically configure Wi-Fi settings. By embedding the SSID, password, and encryption type within the code, users can connect to your Wi-Fi network instantly—no manual input of credentials required. This API also supports hidden SSIDs and can embed a Wi-Fi icon in the QR code for a more polished look.

Key highlights:

  • Supports multiple encryption types (WEP, WPA, NOPASS).
  • Hidden SSIDs – Indicate whether the network name is hidden.
  • Optional Wi-Fi icon in the QR code center.
  • Size customization – Generate codes up to 500px or more.
  • HTTPS/TLS – End-to-end encryption, Apple ATS-compliant.
