# KiHustle HMAC-SHA256 Generator

> KiHustle HMAC-SHA256 Generator is a paid API for AI agents from kihustle.tech, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Computes an HMAC-SHA256 cryptographic signature for a given text input using a provided secret key

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://kihustle.tech/bot-bazaar/api/v1/hmac-sha256-generator
- Price: $0.002/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-15
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/kihustle-hmac-sha256-generator-90d7dd08
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_DSWp6xhfT3BdCJttMnPar

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 kihustle-hmac-sha256-generator-90d7dd08 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate an HMAC-SHA256 signature for the text 'order_id=12345&amount=99.99' using the secret key 'my_webhook_secret_abc123'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, serverless HMAC-SHA256 computation without running local code or setting up a cryptographic library. Ideal for agents that need to sign webhook payloads, authenticate API requests, or verify data integrity on the fly at low cost ($0.002 per call). Prefer this over a generic hashing service when you specifically need HMAC (keyed) rather than plain SHA256.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'text' or 'secret' field returns an error or empty result
- Empty string inputs may produce an unexpected but technically valid hash
- Invalid JSON body causes a 400-level error
- Extremely long input strings may time out or be rejected
- Network issues may cause transient failures

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the computed HMAC-SHA256 signature string under a 'result' field and a 'status' field confirming success. The result is a hex-encoded or base64-encoded cryptographic hash derived from the input text and secret key.
