# Pyfile Toolkit HMAC Generator

> Pyfile Toolkit HMAC Generator is a paid API for AI agents from pyfile-agent.taile3ff35.ts.net, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Computes an HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) for a given input string using a specified algorithm and secret key

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://pyfile-agent.taile3ff35.ts.net/data/hmac
- Price: $0.003/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-16
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/pyfile-toolkit-hmac-generator-3f68f837

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 pyfile-toolkit-hmac-generator-3f68f837
```

Example prompt: Can you compute an HMAC-SHA256 of the string 'hello world' using the secret key 'mysecretkey'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, stateless HMAC computation without setting up a local crypto library — especially useful in agent pipelines that need to sign messages, verify webhook payloads, or authenticate API calls using a shared secret. Prefer this over general-purpose code execution when you just need the HMAC value and want a simple GET call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'input' query parameter returns an error
- Unsupported algorithm value may return an error or empty result
- Empty or missing key may produce an unkeyed hash or error
- Malformed query parameters may result in a 400 bad request
- Network timeout on the Tailscale-hosted endpoint

## How this service works

HMAC a string. ?algo=sha256&key=k&input=hello

## Output

Returns the computed HMAC digest string for the given input, algorithm, and key — typically a hex-encoded authentication code that can be used to verify message integrity or authenticate API requests.
