# Crypto API

TIP

This is an advanced API and we assume that most of our users won't know what to do with it (for a fact, we are sure most of you won't need it 😉) But for those of you who do, this might be represent a powerful addon to your application.

# Hash

Generate the hash value of an arbitrary input value.

Example

"MySuperPass123" ➔ "1bace463fe60bc5d431dc73e2f0ba8fab77c28dbfb3b41a1096d8cd30b4e756b"

API Base URL

https://api.abracadalo.com/crypto/hash

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Required
`value`	String	Value to hash. Can by anything.	Yes
`algo`	String	Hashing algorithm to apply (Default: `"sha256"`).	No
`enc`	String	Encoding of hash output (Default: `"hex"`).	No

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
`hash`	String	Hash value output.

# Generate Key Pair

Randomly generates an RSA key pair of 4096 bit that can be used for asymmetric cryptography.

Example (shortened)

"-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIICIjANBgk...\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n", "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIJQgIBA...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
`publicKey`	String	Public key.
`privateKey`	String	Private key.

# Generate BTC Wallet

Generates the keys to a new Bitcoin wallet. We use bitcoinjs-lib (opens new window) to generate the wallet.

Example (shortened)

"1QFL9ZwAF68Htfnu6LHoTbhnEWpV4QARnv", "L4Y3Khss7R5FSYCEj2TJnjBKJx4WUG9dhiwXTbyoL49MAjGXCn4i", "03556738b5559b2d1ba5d2d8417dab7deffdd665d18f73f3fe40f0eb2c3fb35822"

API Base URL

https://api.abracadalo.com/crypto/generateBtcWallet

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
`address`	String	Public Bitcoin wallet address that can be used to send Bitcoins to.
`privateKey`	String	Private key to Bitcoin wallet, enables creating transactions.
`publicKey`	String	Rarely needed. The Bitcoin address deviates itself from this value.
