# Generate Hash API

## About

## 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.
