AES Encrypt API

Encrypt data using AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption via REST API. AES-256-GCM provides both confidentiality and integrity — the authentication tag detects any tampering with the ciphertext. Each call generates a random IV for semantic security.

How it works

POST your plaintext and a 256-bit key (64 hex characters). The API generates a random 12-byte IV, encrypts with AES-256-GCM, and returns the IV, ciphertext, and authentication tag as hex strings. Store all three together — you need them all to decrypt.

Use cases

• Encrypt sensitive data fields before storing in a database
• Protect API keys and secrets in transit or at rest
• Build end-to-end encrypted messaging or file storage
• Encrypt configuration values in environment-agnostic ways

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLOPSHOP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"plaintext": "sk-openai-abc123xyz", "key": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001"}'

curl -X POST https://slopshop.gg/v1/crypto-encrypt-aes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLOPSHOP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"plaintext": "123-45-6789", "key": "deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef"}'

curl -X POST https://slopshop.gg/v1/crypto-encrypt-aes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SLOPSHOP_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"plaintext": "prod-db-password-super-secret", "key": "cafebabecafebabecafebabecafebabecafebabecafebabecafebabecafebabe"}'

Python

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://slopshop.gg/v1/crypto-encrypt-aes",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
    json={"input": "your data here"}
)
result = response.json()
print(result["data"])

Node.js

const response = await fetch("https://slopshop.gg/v1/crypto-encrypt-aes", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ input: "your data here" })
});
const { data } = await response.json();
console.log(data);

CLI

# Install the Slopshop CLI
