Converting a barcode into useful, descriptive information is harder then you would expect. Or rather its difficult to do with any reliability and accuracy. There are a few good API’s that I’ve been using or looking into that I’ll cover here. The API’s Each service offers different information so you need to nail down your requirements before you read further. For my needs I really just need Barcode -> Company but I’ll try to add details that fall outside of that where I can remember...
