# Decrypt Text API

Decrypt Fernet ciphertext with a matching key and get plaintext back. Useful for backend workflows, debugging, and verifying encrypted payloads.

## About

## What it does
Fernet Decrypt takes a ciphertext token and the matching key, then returns the decrypted plaintext as a string.

Use it when you need to reverse Fernet-encrypted data inside a workflow, test harness, or internal admin tool. Send the `ciphertext` and `key` in the request body; the response includes `plaintext` when decryption succeeds.

Fernet Decrypt is a fit for security-sensitive systems that already store encrypted payloads and need a small, direct decryption step without building that logic into every service. It keeps the interface narrow: one request body, one plaintext output.

Because the endpoint only returns decrypted text, it works well for backend jobs, debugging encrypted messages, or verifying that a key matches a stored token before handing the result to another process.

## Usage

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
