Creating a QR Code encoding contact information¶

MeCard¶

The function segno.helpers.make_mecard() returns a QR code which encodes contact information as MeCard.

>>> from segno import helpers
>>> qrcode = helpers.make_mecard(name='Doe,John', email='me@example.org', phone='+1234567')
>>> qrcode.designator
'3-L'
>>> # Some params accept multiple values, like email, phone, url
>>> qrcode = helpers.make_mecard(name='Doe,John',
...                              email=('me@example.org', 'another@example.org'),
...                              url=['http://www.example.org', 'https://example.org/~joe'])
>>> qrcode.save('my-mecard.svg', scale=4)

A factory function which returns the MeCard as string is available as well.

>>> import segno
>>> from segno import helpers
>>> mecard = helpers.make_mecard_data(name='Doe,John', email='me@example.org', phone='+1234567')
>>> mecard
'MECARD:N:Doe,John;TEL:+1234567;EMAIL:me@example.org;;'
>>> qrcode = segno.make(mecard, error='H')
>>> qrcode.designator
'6-H'

vCard¶

The function segno.helpers.make_vcard() returns a QR code which encodes contact information as vCard version 3.0.

>>> from segno import helpers
>>> qrcode = helpers.make_vcard(name='Doe;John', displayname='John Doe',
...                             email='me@example.org', phone='+1234567')
>>> qrcode.designator
'5-L'
>>> # Some params accept multiple values, like email, phone, url
>>> qrcode = helpers.make_vcard(name='Doe;John', displayname='John Doe',
...                             email=('me@example.org', 'another@example.org'),
...                             url=['http://www.example.org', 'https://example.org/~joe'])
>>> qrcode.save('my-vcard.svg', scale=4)

A factory function which returns the vCard as string is available as well.

>>> import segno
>>> from segno import helpers
>>> vcard = helpers.make_vcard_data(name='Doe;John', displayname='John Doe',
...                                 email='me@example.org', phone='+1234567')

'BEGIN:VCARD\r\nVERSION:3.0\r\nN:Doe;John\r\nFN:John Doe\r\nEMAIL:me@example.org\r\nTEL:+1234567\r\nEND:VCARD\r\n'
>>> qrcode = segno.make(vcard, error='H')
>>> qrcode.designator
'9-H'
