What is the Text Toolkit API?

The Helix Text Toolkit API is a collection of common developer text utilities behind one endpoint: cryptographic hashing (MD5/SHA1/SHA256/SHA512), UUID v4 generation, case conversion, URL-safe slugify, word/character counting, lorem ipsum, and cryptographically random password generation.

How it works

  1. 1POST /hash {text, algorithm} returns the hex digest.
  2. 2GET /uuid?count=N returns N random UUID v4 values.
  3. 3POST /case {text, type} converts to upper, lower, title, snake, kebab or camel case.
  4. 4POST /slug {text} returns a URL-safe slug.
  5. 5POST /count {text} returns characters, words, lines, sentences, and an estimated reading time.
  6. 6GET /lorem?paragraphs=N and GET /password?length=N&symbols=true round out the toolkit.

Endpoints

7 REST endpoints, all returning consistent JSON.

POST
/hash

GET
/uuid

Generate one or more random UUID v4 values

POST
/case

Convert text case (upper, lower, title, snake, kebab, camel)

POST
/slug

Build a URL-safe slug from text

POST
/count

Count characters, words, lines and sentences

GET
/lorem

Generate lorem ipsum paragraphs

GET
/password

Generate a cryptographically random password

// Text Toolkit API
const response = await fetch(
  "https://text-toolkit-by-helix-api.p.rapidapi.com/hash",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
      "X-RapidAPI-Host": "text-toolkit-by-helix-api.p.rapidapi.com",
      "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ "query": "your input" })
  }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

What developers build with this API

Real use cases from production deployments.

1

Admin & Internal Tools

Hash and salt inputs, generate IDs, and seed records in your back office without pulling crypto libs into every script.

2

Content Management Systems

Auto-slugify titles on blog post creation. Count words for read-time estimates and SEO previews.

3

Auth & Onboarding Flows

Generate secure default passwords during account creation. Use SHA-256 to hash data before sending it to third parties.

4

Designer & Editor Tooling

Drop lorem ipsum into any draft. Convert headings to title case or marketing copy to kebab-case slugs in one call.

Frequently asked questions

Real answers to questions developers ask before integrating.

Is the password generation cryptographically secure?
Yes — backed by the OS CSPRNG (Python's SystemRandom). Suitable for default passwords, API keys, and tokens.
Which hash algorithms are supported?
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512. SHA-256 is the recommended default for non-password use.
Should I use this to hash passwords for storage?
No — store passwords with a slow KDF (bcrypt/argon2/scrypt). Raw SHA-256 is for content fingerprinting, not credentials.
What's the maximum input length?
100 KB per request. For larger files, chunk and hash incrementally on your side.
Is lorem ipsum deterministic?
No — each call returns fresh randomized text. Pass a seed in your local code if you need reproducibility.
