Generator Utilities

Generate Hash

Generates cryptographic hashes from text input using common algorithms like SHA-256, MD5, and SHA-1. Access via MCP in Cursor or Windsurf for instant hash generation, or call GET /v1/generate/hash with your text. Perfect for checksums, data integrity verification, or creating unique identifiers. Returns deterministic output — same input always produces identical hash.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/generate/hash

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/generate/hash" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/generate/hash', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/generate/hash',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

FAQ

What hash algorithms does the generate hash tool support?

Supports major algorithms including SHA-256, SHA-1, MD5, SHA-512, and others. SHA-256 is typically the default for security applications.

How do I generate a hash using MCP in my AI coding assistant?

Simply ask your MCP-enabled tool like Cursor or Claude Code to 'generate hash for this text'. The AI will call the function and return the hash instantly.

Can I hash large text blocks or only short strings?

Works with both short strings and larger text blocks. For very large files, consider chunking or using file-specific hashing tools instead.

What's the difference between MD5 and SHA-256 for hash generation?

MD5 is faster but cryptographically broken — use only for checksums, not security. SHA-256 is secure and recommended for authentication or data integrity.

Does the hash output format change between API calls?

No, the tool is deterministic. Same input text and algorithm always produce identical hash output, ensuring consistency across applications.
