# MD5 Digest of Latin1 Bytes Encoded as Base32

> MD5 Digest of Latin1 Bytes Encoded as Base32 is a paid API for AI agents from agentshelf.syntexa.ch, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Computes an MD5 hash of text interpreted as Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoded bytes and returns the digest encoded in Base32 format.

## 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 md5-digest-of-latin1-bytes-encoded-as-base32-1c944a64 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compute the MD5 hash of the text 'Hello World' treated as Latin-1 bytes and give me the result encoded in Base32?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need an MD5 hash of text that must be interpreted as Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) byte sequences — as opposed to UTF-8 or UTF-16 — and require the output in Base32 encoding rather than hex, base64, or base64url. Prefer the free sandbox version (/v1/sandbox/digest-md5-base32-latin1) first if available. Use this paid endpoint when the sandbox is unavailable or rate-limited and Latin-1 byte-level fidelity with Base32 output is a hard requirement.

## Known failure modes

- Text contains characters not representable in Latin-1 encoding, leading to encoding errors or unexpected hash values
- Input text exceeds the 100,000 character maximum length limit
- Key field is empty or exceeds 512 character limit
- Network timeout or service unavailability returning a non-200 response
- Payment of $0.001 USDC not accepted or wallet insufficient, causing a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs a md5 digest of latin1 bytes, encoded as base32. Exact $0.001 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/digest-md5-base32-latin1 first.

## Output

Returns a Base32-encoded string representing the MD5 hash of the input text interpreted as Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) bytes. The response includes the computed digest ready for use in checksums, deduplication, or integrity verification workflows.
