How this service works
Low-cost x402 pay-per-call tools for autonomous buyers. Web extraction returns static public pages as clean markdown; every payable operation declares x-payment-info and a 402 response. Free betas: Agent Purchase Guard adds retry-safe purchase intent controls; Outcome Router accepts a desired result plus max budget and autonomously discovers fulfillment, tries zero-dollar proof-of-work first, and supports buyer-signed x402 paid execution where available. Buyer-signed paid HYDRA execution - Outcome request: POST https://earn-tools-backend.onrender.com/outcome-router - Paid execution: POST https://earn-tools-backend.onrender.com/outcome-router/execute/{requestId} - First execution call returns the relayed Agent402 Smart Order Router x402 PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge. - An x402-capable buyer wallet signs locally and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. - HYDRA forwards the proof and returns the routed result. - HYDRA never receives the buyer private key or uses owner working capital. - Current beta platform fee: $0. Higher paid tiers are not auto-escalated.
Output
Returns a JSON object with 'ok': true and a 'result' object containing the 'result' field (the hex-encoded SHA-256 hash string) and 'operation': 'sha256' confirming the operation performed.
Example use cases
Content fingerprinting for deduplication
“Hash this article text with SHA-256 so I can check if we've already processed it: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog — special edition 2024.'”
Integrity checksum before storage
“Generate the SHA-256 digest of this JSON blob before I store it, so I can verify it hasn't been tampered with later: '{"user":"alice","balance":500}'”
Deterministic ID generation
“I need a deterministic unique ID for the string 'order-20240601-nyc-warehouse-A' — can you SHA-256 hash it for me?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://earn-tools-backend.onrender.com/sha256When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call SHA-256 hash computation without standing up your own infrastructure, particularly in autonomous agent workflows where x402 micropayments are already supported and you want a trustless, low-cost cryptographic primitive on demand.
Side effects
- Input string exceeds 500,000 character limit — request rejected
- Missing or malformed 'input' field in request body — validation error
- x402 payment not provided or invalid payment signature — 402 Payment Required response
- Service unavailable on Render cold start — 503 or timeout
- Network timeout if Render instance is sleeping
