Hashable
APIREST 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)
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
- Easy-to-use endpoints
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.
