Complete version history and updates for SHA224.com
May 10, 2025
Major platform update with focus on performance, security, and expanded API capabilities.
Added full support for HMAC-SHA224 (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) using SHA-224 as the underlying hash function. This provides a way to verify both data integrity and authentication in a single operation.
curl -X POST \
https://api.sha224.com/v1/hmac \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"data": "Message to authenticate",
"key": "YourSecretKey",
"encoding": "utf8",
"output": "hex"
}'New /batch endpoint allowing up to 100 hash operations to be processed in a single API call, significantly reducing overhead for applications that need to process multiple hashes.
