Use this guide to understand what happens to your API requests after the expiry of your free trial/subscription of the web application QR API.
If you were subscribed to the 14-day free trial or to a subscription plan (Starter, Advanced, Pro), and the plan has expired, your API key will become invalid.
When your system or mobile app sends an API Request with an invalid key, a QR Code image with a preview watermark will be returned.
See sample below:
Such QR Codes are unscannable by most QR Code scanning apps.
To activate your API key, login to your account and start/extend your subscription.
