I used Google vision Barcode API for scanning the bar code. From that, I can able to get display value from the bar code. But, how can I get complete product information after scanning the bar code?

Which means, After scanning I'm getting bar code value as 036000291452. But I need to get product information from it as well.

Similar to below:

Barcode Formats: UPC 036000291452 Artist: Haindling Label: Polydor

Please help!

To get product information you'll need to use some database of products that's searchable by UPC. A quick google search came up with a few suggestions, such as https://www.barcodelookup.com/api .
