A Python implementation of the hashids algorithm that generates short, URL-friendly, obfuscated hashes from integers. It lets you hide database IDs from users while remaining fully reversible with the correct salt.
Use cases
- hide database ids in urls
- generate short youtube-like ids from integers
- obfuscate sequential primary keys
- encode multiple integers into one reversible string
- create salted reversible id hashes
When to choose
- you need reversible, obfuscated integer ids rather than one-way hashing
- you want cross-language compatibility with other hashids implementations
- you need short, url-safe identifiers for public-facing apis
When to avoid
- you need cryptographic security - hashids is obfuscation, not encryption
- you need one-way hashing like bcrypt or sha
- you need random unique ids like uuids
