Hashdb api

What does it do?

The API interface allows you to retrieve passwords from the database in a single simple http request.

This means you can easily add hash lookups into your website or application.

How do I use it?

You send an HTTP request to http://insomnia247.nl/hash_api.php with the GET parameters type and hash.

So for example http://insomnia247.nl/hash_api.php?type=md5&hash=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 would return password.

No HTML or styling info is added. Just the blank, plaintext password is returned.

What comes back if something is wrong?

When a hash is not in the databse: Hash not found.

Invalid MD5 hash: Error: Not a valid MD5 hash.

Invalid SHA-1 hash: Error: Not a valid SHA-1 hash.

Invalid hash type: Error: Not a valid hash type.

Not all parameters are set: Error: Both a 'hash' and 'type' need to be defined.

Is it free?

Yes, it is, and will continue to be free for the foreseeable future. We would appreciate it if you give us credit for it though.

I plan to use it in a pretty big site/application. How much requests can I make?

Though it should be able to handle a fair amount of requests, there's always going to be a limit. If you're planning to use it a lot, please contact us.

We can discuss if we'll be able to handle the amount of requests, or if you can perhaps set up your own local copy of the database.
