SHA-256 Hash API
x402
SHA-256 Hash API is a paid API for AI agents from api.bakhour.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).
Computes a SHA-256 cryptographic hash digest of a given input text string

How this service works
Decision-grade security/due-diligence outcome reports ($20-$100) plus deterministic paid utilities ($0.001+) for software agents and automated workflows.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the computed SHA-256 hex digest string under the 'digest' key and the algorithm name ('sha256') under the 'algorithm' key. The digest is a deterministic 64-character hexadecimal string unique to the input.
Example use cases
Integrity check before storing data
“Before I save this config value to the database, compute the SHA-256 hash of 'api_key:s3cr3t_v4lue' so I can store the checksum alongside it.”
Generate deterministic content identifier
“I need a unique fingerprint for this document text — can you SHA-256 hash the string 'Invoice #4821: $350 due 2024-06-01' so I can use it as a deduplication key?”
Verify password hash for comparison
“Hash the plaintext password 'MyP@ssw0rd123' using SHA-256 so I can compare it against the stored hash in our user table.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.bakhour.ca/hash/sha256When to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a simple, deterministic SHA-256 hash of a text string without setting up a local cryptographic library — ideal for AI agents or automated workflows operating in environments where native hashing is unavailable or inconvenient, and where paying $0.001 USDC per call via x402 is acceptable.
Side effects
- Missing or empty 'text' field in request body returns a validation error
- Malformed JSON request body may result in a 400 Bad Request
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required
- Extremely large input strings may cause timeout or rejection
- Network errors to api.bakhour.ca result in connection failures
