It is always nice to integrate easy to use APIs into your own site or software. When you are working in this area, it is especially nice is to have an integration with 1D Barcodes and 2D Codes where you don't have to take care of rendering or decoding of images. If you are not working with Barcodes yet, this might be the time to start exploring the possibilities of 2D Codes as a real-world entry to online information.Snappr.net just opened an API for encoding and decoding of Codes. By easily accessing their webservices one can create and 'read' 1D and 2D Barcodes.
This Code for example, which encodes the URL to the mobile version of my blog is created by simply calling the service via
http://service.snappr.net/encode.php?Icon=www&Data=http%3a%2f%2fm.thinkoutsidethebubble.net&Response=direct&Version=100
