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.

obsolete service.

You should switch to another solution.

Hi,

I have developed an app in VBA for myself that needs to create a QRcode and 
I call the API as follows :
"
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=100x100&chma=60,70,800,10&chl=....
."

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?

Thanks in advance
