After the Data Protection act in Kenya, telcos such as Safaricom were required to minimize the personal data
that was shared with third-parties. This data included phone numbers.
Unfortunately, many systems in place relied on these phone numbers for notifications and general communication.
UnHash is a utility API created to help developers and consumers to decode SHA256 MSISDN received from the M-Pesa Daraja API. The provided hash is decoded and the clear-text MSISDN phone number is shown.
UnHash has a beautiful API that is used to decode the hashes. The hash is provided through a request and a phone number is returned with the response instantly.
The catch? Every successful request is billed in units. Each unit is Kshs 0.30. We do offer unlimited subscription-based packages that can be tailored to your needs and usage.
