Format Guide
Base64
URL-safe Base64 encoding using - and _ instead of + and /. Perfect for use in URLs and headers. Most versatile format for general API key usage.
MD5
32-character hexadecimal string. While not cryptographically secure for hashing, the generated keys use secure random values and are suitable for API keys.
SHA256
64-character hexadecimal string. Provides a longer key length and is commonly used in modern applications and security-conscious environments.
SHA512
128-character hexadecimal string. Offers the longest key length for maximum uniqueness and security requirements.
