PageVerified tools · hash_encode

Hash and encode text

a task needs an exact SHA or MD5 digest, or text converted to or from base64, base64url, hex or URL percent-encoding, where a language model would otherwise guess the output.

Bearer key · JSON

POST /api/v1/encode

curl -s -X POST https://pageverified.com/api/v1/encode \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $PAGEVERIFIED_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"operation":"hash","text":"PageVerified","algorithm":"sha256"}'

Send the key as a bearer token in the authorization header. One key and one credit balance cover every service, including PageVerified Capture. A failed call is refunded automatically. No key yet? POST /api/v1/keys issues one with 25 free credits and no signup — see the key guide.

Field / What it holds
Field	What it holds
`operation`	The operation that ran.
`result`	The digest, or the converted text. Null if decoded bytes are not UTF-8.
`result_hex`	For decode: the decoded bytes as hex, for output that is not text.
`is_utf8`	For decode: whether the bytes are valid UTF-8.
`algorithm`	For hash: the algorithm used.
`weak`	For hash: true for md5 and sha1, which must not be used where collisions matter.
`byte_length`	Bytes that were hashed or encoded.
`notice`	That nothing is stored.
