Real renders of the upc-a barcode — each one is the same component with different property values, and the API payload below each preview reproduces it exactly.

Use it dynamically via the API

Encode a different SKU/ticket per render via '<key>.value' (or just '<key>'); format and colors can also be overridden.

Full API request with this variant's current values — the playground above sends only the properties you change

curl --location 'https://render.imejis.io/v1/{{YOUR_DESIGN_ID}}' \
--header 'dma-api-key: {{YOUR_API_KEY}}' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "sku.value": "036000291452",
    "sku.format": "upca",
    "sku.barColor": "#000000",
    "sku.backgroundColor": "#ffffff",
    "sku.displayValue": true,
    "sku.opacity": 1
}'

Only send the properties you want to change — everything else keeps its design value. See the API documentation for all languages.
