I am integrating with online payment in my application. I need to encrypt credit card data in HTML5 before sending the institution. Is there an API or something related to cryptography here? ---

Hey @Cesar_Costa > [@Cesar\_Costa](#): > > encrypt credit card data in HTML5 before sending the institution. HTML5 isn’t an encryption standard, it’s a language typically used for web pages. If you send data over HTTP (which is what I presume you mean?) then it will be send in plain text…which is not a good thing. Are you trying to connect to an API via HTTP or are you trying to encrypt data with SHA-256 or something similar locally on your device? ---

Hello I’m sorry, I meant HTTP anyway. I would like to know the ways I can encrypt the data before sending or making a request via API. ---

I would like to know the exact same thing… anyone? ---

Can you outline the question again? What do you’d want to happen? [HTTPS](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/what-is-https/) is considered fairly secure. What more do you need re: data transmission? ---

Thanks for you reply Jared… I did a little more deep research and found that https is secure even if the data is sent on url (query parameters). ---
