Beeceptor vs QR code
Beeceptor lets you spin up a mock REST endpoint at a custom subdomain in seconds, define rule-based JSON, XML, plain-text, or binary responses through a no-code rule builder, and inspect the live requests hitting it in real time. It also doubles as an HTTP proxy for intercepting and rewriting responses from a real backend during development. The free tier needs no signup or API key — 50 requests/day per endpoint with up to 3 rules — with paid plans from $10/month unlocking private endpoints, higher volume, and CI/CD integration.
goQR.me's QR code API, served from api.qrserver.com rather than the marketing domain, offers two commands: create-qr-code renders a PNG, SVG, or EPS QR image from a data string, while read-qr-code decodes an existing QR image (by URL or upload) and returns the result as JSON. Run by Foundata GmbH, it imposes no request limit beyond reserving the right to reject abusive traffic, and it logs only the requesting referrer/IP, never the QR content itself.
