# Barcode Lookup

[Barcode Lookup](https://www.barcodelookup.com/) allows you to scan (or enter) products' barcodes
({abbr}`UPC (Universal Product Code)`, {abbr}`EAN (European Article Number)`, or {abbr}`ISBN
(International Standard Book Number)`) to automatically create them in your Odoo database, complete
with product names, descriptions, images, categories, etc.

## Configuration

If your database is hosted on **Odoo Online**, you can use Barcode Lookup without configuration.

If your database is hosted on **Odoo.sh** or **on-premise**, proceed as follows:

1. Visit the [Barcode Lookup website](https://www.barcodelookup.com/api) and click
   {guilabel}`Sign Up for the API`.
2. Choose the appropriate plan based on the number of barcodes you need to scan.
3. Fill in the required details and complete the registration process.
4. Copy the API key.
5. In Odoo, open the Settings app, scroll down to the {guilabel}`Integrations` section, and, under
   {guilabel}`Barcode Database`, paste the Barcode Lookup {guilabel}`API Key`.

## Use

To fill in product information using Barcode Lookup, create a new product and fill in the
{guilabel}`Barcode` field. The product's details are then automatically imported from Barcode
Lookup, updating the following fields: {guilabel}`Name`, {guilabel}`Price`, {guilabel}`Description`,
{guilabel}`Tax`, {guilabel}`Image`, {guilabel}`Weight`, {guilabel}`Attributes`, {guilabel}`Product
category`, and {guilabel}`Volume`. You can then modify any field(s) as needed.
