# CCC Tools Hash Generation API

> CCC Tools Hash Generation API is a paid API for AI agents from ccc-tools-phi.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Generates a cryptographic hash (SHA256, SHA512, or MD5) of a given text string via a micropayment-gated API

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://ccc-tools-phi.vercel.app/api/hash
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ccc-tools-hash-generation-api-ac6e85bb
```

Example prompt: Can you compute the SHA256 hash of the text 'Hello, World!' for me?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, on-demand cryptographic hash of a text string via a pay-per-use micropayment model (x402/USDC), especially in automated agent workflows where setting up a local hashing library is not feasible or when verifying data integrity in a serverless context.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid 'algo' parameter — only sha256, sha512, and md5 are accepted
- Missing 'text' parameter returns an error
- Payment not processed or insufficient USDC balance returns 402
- Unknown or unsupported algorithm name returns an error response

## How this service works

Developer utilities via x402 micropayments. QR code generation, markdown-to-HTML conversion, base64 encoding/decoding, hash generation (SHA256/SHA512/MD5), text statistics, and JSON formatting.

## Output

A cryptographic hash digest string of the input text, generated using the specified algorithm (SHA256, SHA512, or MD5).

## Example request

```json
{
 "algo": "sha256",
 "text": "Hello, World!"
}
```
