# SHA-224 Digest with Base32 Encoding

> SHA-224 Digest with Base32 Encoding is a paid API for AI agents from agentshelf.syntexa.ch, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-01).

Computes a SHA-224 cryptographic hash of input text and returns the result encoded as a Base32 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-224-digest-with-base32-encoding-ad30ea02 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compute the SHA-224 hash of the text 'Hello, world!' and give me the result encoded as Base32?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a SHA-224 specifically (not SHA-256 or SHA-512) and want the output in Base32 encoding rather than hex or Base64. Prefer the free sandbox endpoint (/v1/sandbox/digest-sha224-base32) for testing before paying. Use this over SHA-1 when stronger collision resistance is required, and over SHA-256 when a shorter digest is acceptable. Ideal for deterministic ID generation, deduplication fingerprints, or integrity verification where Base32 output is required (e.g. for case-insensitive or URL-safe contexts).

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a validation error
- Text exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected
- Missing or invalid API key results in authentication failure
- Payment not settled via x402 protocol results in 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request body returns 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs a sha224 digest of text, encoded as base32. No network and no LLM. Exact $0.01 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/digest-sha224-base32 first.

## Output

Returns a Base32-encoded string representing the SHA-224 digest (224-bit hash) of the provided input text. The result is deterministic, produces no network calls, and arrives quickly since it is a pure computation.
