String to Hash API: Secure Your Data with SHA-256 Hashing
In the realm of data security and cryptography, the importance of hashing cannot be overstated. The String to Hash API is your indispensable tool for effortlessly converting any given string into its highly secure SHA-256 hash representation. Whether you're working on data integrity, user authentication, or any application requiring cryptographic security, this API empowers you with a straightforward and efficient method for obtaining SHA-256 hashes.
Effortless Conversion Process
The API's functionality is simple yet powerful. It allows you to submit a POST request to the /convert endpoint, providing the string you wish to hash in a JSON format. The server processes your request and swiftly responds with the SHA-256 hash encapsulated in a JSON object. This streamlined process makes securing your data a seamless endeavor.
The Power of SHA-256
SHA-256, or Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit, stands as a stalwart in the world of cryptographic hash functions. Renowned for its robust security features and data integrity assurances, it's widely used in various security protocols, including blockchain technology. SHA-256 hashes are virtually irreversible, ensuring the original input string cannot be reconstructed from the hash.
Pass the string and receive the SHA-256.

The String to Hash API is a programmatic interface that facilitates the conversion of input strings into SHA-256 hash representations, enhancing data security and integrity.
Access to the API typically requires an API key or token provided by the API provider. Users can send a POST request to the /convert endpoint with the desired string in JSON format to obtain the corresponding SHA-256 hash.
SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is a cryptographic hash function known for its robust security features. It takes an input and produces a fixed-size (256-bit) hash value, making it virtually impossible to reverse-engineer the original string.
Yes, the API can be used to hash sensitive data such as passwords or personal information. However, it's crucial to ensure that the hashed data is adequately protected during storage and transmission.
Yes, you can verify data integrity by comparing the SHA-256 hash of the original data with the hash of the received or stored data. A mismatch indicates potential data tampering.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the worldβs most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the βX-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remainingβ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the βX-Zyla-RateLimit-Limitβ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.
The βX-Zyla-RateLimit-Resetβ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
