Detect and decode all barcodes in an image. Input: base64-encoded image bytes (PNG/JPEG/WebP/anything sharp reads). Output: JSON array of {format, text}. Supports QR, Aztec, DataMatrix, Code128/39/93, EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, ITF, PDF417, Codabar. Use formats filter to restrict results.

validate
validate_gtin
Check a product code against GTIN rules: length + mod-10 checksum. Returns {valid, type: ean13|ean8|upcA|null, normalized}. Rejects codes with a broken checksum (e.g. 8595234703191).
