Thanks for the quick reply. I implemented this solution in December. Searching on documentation for the [QRCode] Google API I read about one such deprecated service but there was also a suggestion to go to a newer one that is supported. Years ago, when we reminded people of the deprecation, we suggested that people make use of the interactive and actively developed Google Charts where possible. However, Google Charts does not support QR codes. For QR codes, you can search online and find a drop-in solution that will require changing only one line of code. Judging by your answer about another "solution" I should look elsewhere and not in Google APIs. Am I correct? And if yes, what is your estimate about the time I have to implement a new solution? I am dealing with regulatory issues on this. Right: for the past 12 years there has been no current Google API that provides QR codes. As for the estimate, I'd been hoping to turn down the service for good tomorrow, but I can wait a bit for you to slot in a replacement.

We've started rolling blackouts for the few remaining users who don't realize they're depending on an obsolete service. You should switch to another solution.

These last few days I continually bump on timeouts which eventually disappear and I can get my image. Yet it has become not dependable. Is there a way to avoid this timeout? Is there a way to preload some library and not have to go online every single time (to which my guess is No)? Is there some documentation I can access?
