EDIT: DataKick has ...

In short, no, there is no comprehensive open database of EAN 13 barcodes. I worked on a project that required UPC information and I found out that this data is not only hard to get, but what is there is often incomplete or poorly formed. I subscribed to SimpleUPC's API service to do some testing on matching products to parent companies. Manufacturer names ...

Have a look at OpenFoodFacts, which is a "free, open and collaborative database of food products from the entire world." It contains almost 920,000 items from around the world and may be helpful in solving your issue.

The USDA now provides an Open API for the National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference using data.gov. You need a data.gov API key in order to access this, and requests are sent to api.data.gov using the REST protocol.

Short answer, no. Long answer - there are attempts at creating a "global" or should I say "universal" UPC database and there are some vendors with large UPC databases (and even those who provide API access), but none of them are hardly "universal". This is a problem that I have personally been grappling with. At work I manage a large number of SKUs (in the ...

Not knowing what you've already found, do you want something like this: http://www.upcdatabase.com/ http://gepir.gs1.org/v32/xx/ There was a question like this, two actually, over on Stack Overflow.

QR codes hold a string of information. It can be anything, as it's just a way to encode the string. It's quite common for them to contain URIs (http:, https:, etc.) for smartphones and the like to access, but there's nothing stopping it from holding code to be processed (javascript:, if it's going to be passed off to a web browser), or anything else. The ...

For the ISBN's, you may find interest in Worldcat. It allows searching with ISBN codes, and by language. Hindi is one of the searchable languages. They also offer an API, but to perform unrestricted search requests you have to be affiliated to a Library, otherwise it's free. The other alternative is also to write your own API that scraps the results off web ...

No one mentioned ItemMaster.com which provides pretty comprehensive product data which includes UPC codes, descriptions, nutrition, attributes, low and high res images and complete planograming information for retailers.

Have you tried http://www.wolframalpha.com for example http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=bacardi. They have an API which will bring back this kind of data. I am not sure it works off a barcode, but that is worth a try.
