Save Generated Barcodes

The Aspose.BarCode Cloud SDK for Java by the GenerateApi provides methods to generate barcodes to the File. Then you can work with result in order to obtain the desired outcomes. This API supports various barcode formats and configurations, enabling users to customize barcode generation to fit their needs.

Methods

  • generate: Generates a barcode via GET request.
  • generateBody: Generates a barcode via POST request with JSON or XML body.
  • generateMultipart: Generates a barcode via POST request with multipart form data. All of these methods return a File.

Saving the Barcode to File

Below are examples demonstrating how to save the generated barcode stream to a file.

Example: Using generate

import com.aspose.barcode.cloud.ApiClient;
import com.aspose.barcode.cloud.api.GenerateApi;
import com.aspose.barcode.cloud.model.BarcodeImageFormat;
import com.aspose.barcode.cloud.model.EncodeBarcodeType;
import com.aspose.barcode.cloud.requests.GenerateRequestWrapper;

import java.io.File;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption;

public class GenerateGet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String accessToken = System.getenv("TEST_CONFIGURATION_ACCESS_TOKEN");
        ApiClient client;

        if (accessToken != null && !accessToken.isEmpty()) {
            client = new ApiClient(accessToken);
        } else {
            client =
                    new ApiClient(
                            "Client Id from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications",
                            "Client Secret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications");
        }

        GenerateApi generateApi = new GenerateApi(client);

        try {
            GenerateRequestWrapper request =
                    new GenerateRequestWrapper(EncodeBarcodeType.CODE128, "Aspose.BarCode.Cloud");

            request.imageFormat = BarcodeImageFormat.PNG;

            File barcodeImage = generateApi.generate(request);

            File destination = Paths.get("test_data", "Code128.png").toFile();
            Files.move(
                    barcodeImage.toPath(),
                    destination.toPath(),
                    StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
            System.out.println("Barcode image saved to file " + destination.getAbsolutePath());

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("Error");
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(1);
        }
    }
