Issue on docs

It is not clear what encoding the QR codes are in.
Base64 seem standard but I didn't have any luck there.
Please put the information for QR codes directly in the examples if possible.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. Initially i thought it was base64, then binary. Nothing worked. Here is my workaround if you need a quick solution:

This is in TS, but you can easily adjust it to python

const apiUrl = `https://api.dub.co/qr?url=${url}`;
    const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {
      method: "GET",
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer [Your key goes here]`,
        Accept: "image/png",
      },
    });

The developer reached out on twitter/x and provided an example. Much appreciated though! Cheers to the dev for excellent communication.

For anyone looking here is the solution in Python from the developer: '''!pip install --upgrade shortuuid !pip install dub from google.colab import files import dub import os import shortuuid from dub.models import operations import requests import base64 uploaded = files.upload() d = dub.Dub( server_url="https://api.dub.co", token="dub_xxx" ) def create_short_link(): res = None try: image_path = list(uploaded.keys())[0] with open(image_path, 'rb') as image_file: image_buffer = image_file.read() image_base64 = base64.b64encode(image_buffer).decode('utf-8') res = d.links.create(request={ "url": "https://google.com", "proxy": True, "image": image_base64 }) except Exception as e: return str(e) if res is not None: return res.short_link create_short_link()'''
