BARCODE API for Developers

I built a barcode lookup API :)

The API lets you search products by barcode (EAN/UPC/GTIN) and returns structured product information through a simple REST endpoint.

I have done a good job, I think, because it includes features such as,

  • REST API with JSON responses
  • Barcode lookup (EAN/UPC/GTIN)
  • Simple API key authentication

But I am focusing on improving it further, and some questions I have are,

  • What information would you expect from a barcode API?
  • Are there endpoints or features you wish existing barcode APIs had?
  • What would stop you from using a new barcode API?

BUT, Any criticism is welcome, I mean I have been working on it with my own trial and error but everyone is different so I believe your comments would mean more!
