Specification & Structural Breakdown

Technical Summary: Validates strictly against GS1 General Specifications & AI Syntax. Payloads are parsed in memory and return clean, typed JSON in milliseconds with zero data logged.

AI (10) identifies the manufacturing batch or lot number. It is variable-length up to 20 alphanumeric characters.

PropertyValue
AI Code10
Data ContentBatch / Lot Number
Length1 to 20 alphanumeric characters
Delimiter RequiredYes (FNC1 / <GS>) if not end of string

Parsed JSON Response Model

The edge microservice transforms input payloads into strongly-typed hierarchical JSON envelopes with sub-5ms latency:

HTTP 200 JSON Response Envelope
{
  "ai": "10",
  "lotNumber": "LOT-2026-A89",
  "length": 12
}

Endpoint: POST https://api.stanzaapi.com/gs1-decoder/api/v1/gs1/decode
Auth header: x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json
Request body:
{
  "barcode": "010001234567890510LOT123\u001d1726083121SN9988"
}

Rules:
- Send the request with a 2-second timeout.
- Parse the standard envelope { success, data, meta: { latency_ms, version } }.
- On failure, read { success: false, error, code } and branch on the code.
- Do not retry 4xx responses; surface the error code to the caller.
- Treat invalid-but-well-formed payloads as HTTP 200 with data.valid === false.
