Hi there I have an interesting issue I am struggling to resolve and could definitely use some guidance from the community.
I am using BI Publisher desk top and I am trying to take a value from my xml, pass it to a web service and retrieve back an image of a QR code
the URL I am using is the following
https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data=123456789abcdef123456789&size=100x100" alt="" title=""
replacing 123456789abcdef123456789 with data from my JDE UBE used to generate a QR code.
if you pop that URL in to a browser you will se it returns a QR code nicely
generating the URL is not a problem but where I am struggling is how I can add code to my template to call the web service using the url generated and display the
QR code image that is passed back.
has any one out there had any luck inserting code in to an rtf template to call a web service using a URL and display the resulting image on the out put ?
if what I am trying to do is not possible I am also investigating encoding my data then using a QR code font to display the data as a QR code .
is there any one out there who has taken this approach and if so can you offer any guidance on encoding text in to QR data
thank you very much in advance for any help support or guidance any one can offer.
