Create barcodes with an API

[Kim_Trager1]

Can anyone recommend a barcode generator I can use via an API and then save it to a field?
I’ve been looking at the Generate Barcode Images in Bulk on Airtable - miniExtensions, however would like to try make a solution myself, as i’ll only generate new barcodes every know and then and not all the time, hence the $39 a month is slightly too exspensive for me atm.

So I’m thinking if something would be possible with the scripting app?

Let me know if I can help provide any more information, and if this helped answer your question please mark it as the solution :white_check_mark: .
