So if you saw it, why did you ask where the API was? :huh:/>
What is confusing about it?

If you looked through the code you would have found a function called sha256 at the bottom, it's easy to use
Now if you want to use this as an API you would have to remove the local before the function so it can be used
Now load it as you usually do with APIs
local text = "Hello"
local hash = sha256( text )
Now if you want to use this as an API you would have to remove the local before the function so it can be used
Like this
change this
local function sha256( message )
function sha256( message )
os.loadAPI( "hash" ) -- we're going to call the file hash here, change it to whatever you named it
print( hash.sha256( "Hello" ) )

Oh, and BTW, will it work on other Luas (e.g. OC Lua(5.2), Roblox Lua (5.1))

its a completely contained API, requiring nothing external, so yes, it should work. However the way you load it will differ.

According to the thread it's supposed to be in the program, so… no need to loadits a completely contained API, requiring nothing external, so yes, it should work. However the way you load it will differ.

it can be external it doesn't have to be defined in the program.
