Free QR code generator API

[rcacciato]

I have a database where I am creating QR codes with URLs for our customers to place orders. I've been using a free service called qrserver.com and have been using this script around this (I can't recall where I found the script):

Set Variable [ $theURL; Value:"https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=150x150&data="&qrgen::orderurl ]
#Make sure the field you are inserting into is on the layout that the script is running from.
#----MODIFY FIELDS----
Insert from URL [ qrgen::QR Code; $theURL ] [ Select; No dialog ]
#Turn this on for troubleshooting. If something is wrong, you will see some error information coming back from Google.
// Open URL [ $theURL ] [ No dialog ]

Unfortunately when I ran the script today it hung on the URL Data Transfer script saying "Transferring" (see screenshot). 

When I went to the qrserver.com website nothing came up, so they must have shut this down for whatever reason.

Does anybody else have any ideas how to generate QR codes for free? This is an important part of our system.

Thanks in advance.

There are many APIs providing QR codes to choose from.

Alternatively you could implement some Javascript code in a web viewer - though that could be a bit tricky if you're still on version 16.
