This isn't really an API type system, as you describe it above.<br />
<br />
This is an App, you'd write + deploy to user's devices.<br />
<br />
Your App would scan bar codes (likely you'd use some sort of library linked into your APP for this).<br />
<br />
Then send the barcode to your site to lookup a product. This might be an API you write or just a simple Web link to initiative an order by adding a product to a shopping cart.<br />
<br />
If this is your first time developing a project like this, likely best to hire someone to assist you.<br />
<br />
This type of App isn't difficult to develop. It will just require a good bit of time to develop.

<div>
Are you looking for a full solution, or just a webservice type API that you can use in your code to lookup information related to a UPC/EAN you capture in your application?<br />

Hi Bill,<br />
<br />
Thanks for replying.<br />
I’m looking for a webservice-type API to use in my code.
</div>


<div>
Actually you're looking for an App to run, which might call many APIs.<br />
<br />
If you're asking about a Web service, this suggests people are using a Website to scan their barcodes.<br />
<br />
The video you provided requires users to purchase a bar code scanning device.<br />
<br />
This is how we read bar codes in one of my businesses.<br />
<br />
A bar code scanner device (runs from $50-$200+) just scans barcodes + converts them to readable numbers.<br />
<br />
If you're talking about having every person purchase a bar scanner, then your project becomes easy.<br />
<br />
They just use their purchased bar code scanner to convert bar codes to strings of text to fill in form fields on your Website.<br />
<br />
In this case, their's no App + no API + no coding, as the bar code scanner device handles all these details.

Hi David,<br />
<br />
This is a mobile app. Barcodes will be scanned via the camera and converted to strings. Then the app will query web APIs like the ones provided by Bill.

I'm looking for a web API to provide the following functionalities to my application:<br />
<br />
1 - Allow users to get product details via scanned barcode &nbsp;- like this software <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sRGtcaEVR4" rel="ugc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sRGtcaEVR4</a><br />
2 - If the user can't scan the barcode for some reason, it allows him to search for the product by name as he type.<br />
<br />
Thank you!

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
