Scandit

Scandit is the smart data capture company, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Its vision-AI Smart Data Capture platform turns smartphones, handheld computers, wearables, drones and fixed cameras into high-performance scanners that read barcodes, text, IDs and objects with unmatched speed and accuracy. Scandit is delivered to developers as a first-party Data Capture SDK across iOS, Android, Web, React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Capacitor and .NET/MAUI, plus hosted products like ID Bolt for drop-in website ID scanning. Products include SparkScan, Barcode Capture, MatrixScan (AR/Count/Batch), Smart Label Capture and ID Capture. Authentication is a per-application license key, and recognition runs on-device at the edge. Customers include Walmart, Instacart, Levi Strauss & Co., Sephora, Lufthansa and FedEx.

Scandit publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Frontier Tech, Data Capture, Barcode Scanning, and Computer-Vision.

Scandit’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, engineering blog, support, and 15 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/scandit: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
