Unlock your business’s full potential and automate your workflow with GS1 US® APIs. Streamline data exchange with trading partners and optimize your internal operations with our subscription options.
Integrate GS1 Standards with your systems seamlessly and automatically send, retrieve, and share information about products, locations, and/or GS1® licenses from GS1 US Data Hub®.
Ensure products and locations have valid Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) and Global Location Numbers (GLNs), following GS1 Standards, are licensed by the correct company, and have an active GS1 license to prevent counterfeit and GTIN® hijacking.
Look up and retrieve GTIN/GLN data individually or in bulk along with their attributes to ensure accurate information for supply chain transactions and inventory management.
Quickly find GLNs for multiple addresses to share with trading partners, which can help follow regulatory rules that require strict documentation and traceability.
Identify and get alerts for third-party GLN/GTIN record edits to keep data current in your system while avoiding manual lookups and time-consuming follow-ups.
Quickly assign your GTINs by leveraging your data management automations and share this data with trading partners without one-to-one connection.
GS1 US Solution Partners can assign or search GTINs and GLNs on behalf of their customers and return the results inside their systems.

API stands for Application Programming Interface. It's a piece of technology that allows two different systems to talk to each other, for example GS1 US and your product management system. They talk to each other in specialized formats, such as JSON, which is a human readable format that allows data to be transferred in a standardized way. This is especially important since the data in GS1 US systems have a particular sequence and need to follow the GS1 Standards/data model.
The GS1 US Developer Portal gives access for GS1 US API subscribers to learn about everything that they can do with their GS1 US APIs, get their unique API keys, use the “Try Out” functionality, and get all the API detailed documentation.
GS1 US APIs operate under the OpenAPI (or OData) Standards and results are represented in JSON formats. They include a “Try It” and search functionality, so you can try an API call before building your API.
*To be eligible for an API trial account, Company must (i) support and encourage the use of GS1 standards in alignment with the GS1 General Specification (available at https://www.gs1.org/standards/barcodes-epcrfid-id-keys/gs1-general-specifications) and/or (ii) serve GS1 US members.
