Generate Hash API

What it does

Hash Generator takes a text string and returns its hash using MD5, SHA1, SHA256, or SHA512. Send the text query parameter and choose an algorithm when you need a predictable digest for integrity checks, fingerprints, or lookup keys.

The response includes the original input, the selected algorithm, and the computed hash. That makes it easy to compare values in your own systems or store a stable identifier for a string without keeping the original in plain form.

Use Hash Generator when you need to verify that content has not changed, generate cache keys, deduplicate records, or create compact references for user-provided text. It is a simple string-to-digest utility with a fixed set of common hashing algorithms.

Because the endpoint works on text input only, it fits lightweight validation and security workflows where you need a deterministic hash and nothing more.

GET

Hash a string with MD5, SHA1, SHA256, or SHA512

http://localhost:8080/dosvak/hash

QUICKSTARTGUIDE

Quickstart

Hash a piece of text with the default SHA-256 algorithm.

curl -X GET "http://localhost:8080/dosvak/hash?text=hello%20world&algorithm=sha256" \
  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN"

What you'll get back

Returns a JSON object with hash, input, and algorithm string fields. hash is the computed digest, input is the original text, and algorithm is the hash algorithm used.
