# Delx Commerce Text SHA-256 Hash

> Delx Commerce Text SHA-256 Hash is a paid API for AI agents from commerce.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

Computes the SHA-256 hash of an arbitrary UTF-8 text string, paid per-call via USDC on Base or Solana

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 delx-commerce-text-sha-256-hash-c0898084 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Hash this text using SHA-256: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' — I need the hex digest to verify its integrity.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a fast, verifiable, pay-per-use SHA-256 hash of a text string without any signup or subscription, particularly in autonomous agent workflows using USDC micropayments via the x402 protocol on Base or Solana. Prefer it over self-hosted hashing when you need an externally verifiable, third-party-attested digest with a micropayment audit trail.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'text' field returns an error response
- Non-UTF-8 or malformed input may cause a 400 bad request
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a 5xx error

## How this service works

Pay-per-result APIs for agents. No signup. Exact price. Verifiable delivery. USDC on Base + Solana via x402.

## Output

A JSON object containing the schema identifier ('delx/util-text-sha256/v1') and the SHA-256 hex digest of the input text, e.g. {'schema':'delx/util-text-sha256/v1','sha256':'2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824'}
