Api Endpoint

ISHOB

Look up a product barcode number: identify and validate EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, GTIN-14, ISBN-13/10, ISSN and ISMN codes (wrong check digits are reported with the correct digit), convert between forms (GTIN-14, EAN-13, UPC-A, ISBN-10 <-> 13) and decode the GS1 prefix. Then fetch product data from open databases: name, brand, quantity, categories, image, labels, Nutri-Score (food, cosmetics, pet food via Open Food Facts) or title, authors, publisher and cover (books via Open Library).
