# SHA-1 Digest as Base32 (Latin-1 Input)

> SHA-1 Digest as Base32 (Latin-1 Input) is a paid API for AI agents from agentshelf.syntexa.ch, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-02).

Computes a SHA-1 hash of Latin-1 encoded bytes from the given text and returns it as a Base32-encoded string.

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 sha-1-digest-as-base32-latin-1-input-518d6fc5 -d '<json body>'
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need a SHA-1 digest of Latin-1 byte content encoded as Base32 — for example, when interoperating with legacy systems that use Latin-1 encoding and Base32 output format. If you only need SHA-1 with hex or Base64 output, a different endpoint may be more appropriate. Use the free sandbox variant (/v1/sandbox/digest-sha1-base32-latin1) first to validate integration before incurring the $0.003 USDC cost.

## Known failure modes

- Text contains characters not representable in Latin-1, causing encoding errors
- Missing required 'text' or 'key' field returns a 400 Bad Request
- Text exceeds the 100,000 character limit, resulting in a payload-too-large error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout if the service is temporarily unavailable

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs a sha1 digest of latin1 bytes, encoded as base32. Exact $0.003 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/digest-sha1-base32-latin1 first.

## Output

Returns a Base32-encoded string representing the SHA-1 digest computed over the Latin-1 byte representation of the input text. The output is a fixed-length Base32 string (32 uppercase characters) suitable for use as a fingerprint, checksum, or cache key.
