QR code vs Statically
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.
Statically is a free CDN that serves raw files straight from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and GitHub Gist repositories, plus any npm package, via simple path-based URLs like `cdn.statically.io/gh/:user/:repo@:tag/:file` — no key or account needed. It runs on bunny.net and Cloudflare edge infrastructure; the vendor disabled its former `/img/` image-processing endpoint after sustained abuse, so only the Git/npm file-serving routes remain live today.
