Hashable

API

REST API for high-level cryptographic functions and methods

Overview

Hashable is a RESTful API offering access to essential cryptographic operations like hash generation (SHA-256, MD5, SHA-3), AES encryption/decryption, HMAC creation, and random string generation. Responses are formatted in JSON, with clear success/error statuses and operation metadata. Use cases include integrating secure hashing into user authentication systems, generating HMACs for API request integrity checks, encrypting sensitive data in web/mobile apps, and validating data integrity without low-level crypto implementation.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://hashable.space/pages/api/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Key Features

RESTful architecture
JSON response format
Supports standard crypto algorithms (SHA-2, AES, HMAC)
No API key for basic usage

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Hashable free to use?

Yes, Hashable provides free access to core cryptographic functions like hashing and HMAC generation. Advanced features (if available) may require a paid plan.

? Does it require an API Key?

Basic operations do not need an API key. Higher rate limits or advanced features might require an API key (check official docs for details).

? What is the response format?

Hashable API returns responses in JSON format, including operation results (e.g., hash value) and metadata like algorithm used and success status.
