TMS Software, LLC, developed this app for the Claris Community. It is a FileMaker solution that utilizies the Webmaster API to generate barcodes for container fields in FileMaker.

This solution is targeted towards barcoding in websites. Unlike most barcoding, the image is a URL that links to a file containing the data. The data is not in the image like in most barcodes. This gives you the flexibility to have more and longer text and technically support non-compliant barcode characters. However, this means the actual data resides in the API server and not your barcode text, meaning you should not use this for confidential or sensitive information.

This FileMaker solution is designed to connect you to the Webmaster RESTful API via "Insert from URL" function to submit barcode parameters that the Webmaster API then returns the PNG graphic to a FileMaker container field. The use of the Webmaster API requires registration at their web site. There is no fee for the free version and it includes unlimited calls. More functionality and features are available for additional fee such as supporting Rich Text Formatting.

Supported Barcodes include: QR, ODE12QR, CODE128A, CODE128B, CODE128C, EAN13, EAN8, UPC, CODE39, ITF14, ITF, MSI, MSI10, MSI11, MSI1010, MSI1110, pharmacode

This is an extension meaning it is not designed to be a final solution. This is for you to use to copy, edit and incorporate the script into your own solution.

We hope this solution can assist you in your business process needs!

The solution was prepared as freeware released to the FileMaker community. TMS Software, LLC retains the rights to the code, but asks that if you make use of it, you give us appropriate credit. And if you need assistance in implementing this solution, our consulting services are available and you can contact us at www.tms.us or 877-709-7072.
