# SHA3-224 Base64 Digest (UTF-16LE Encoding)

> SHA3-224 Base64 Digest (UTF-16LE Encoding) is a paid API for AI agents from agentshelf.syntexa.ch, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-29).

Computes a SHA3-224 hash of the input text encoded as UTF-16LE bytes, returning the digest as a base64 string

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://agentshelf.syntexa.ch/v1/digest-sha3-224-base64-utf16?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.008/call

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 sha3-224-base64-digest-utf-16le-encoding-4d2b46cc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Compute a SHA3-224 hash of the text 'Hello, World!' using UTF-16LE encoding and give me the result as a base64 string.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need a SHA3-224 digest computed over UTF-16LE byte encoding of the input text, with the result returned as base64. This is distinct from SHA3-256 or other SHA3 variants, and from UTF-8 encoding. If you need SHA3-224 base64 without payment, try the unpaid sandbox variant at /v1/sandbox/digest-sha3-224-base64-utf16 first.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'text' field returns a validation error
- Text exceeding 100,000 characters is rejected
- Missing or invalid 'key' field may result in authentication failure
- Payment of $0.008 USDC not provided results in 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request body returns 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

Call when an agent needs a sha3-224 digest of utf16le bytes, encoded as base64. Exact $0.008 USDC. Prefer unpaid POST /v1/sandbox/digest-sha3-224-base64-utf16 first.

## Output

Returns a base64-encoded string representing the SHA3-224 digest of the input text after encoding it as UTF-16LE bytes. The digest is deterministic and fixed-length for any given input.
