Python md5 hash not matching?

Question

Python

Hello.
There is a kind of php code:

$salt = "21x1231";
$code = file_get_contetns('api...');
$code = json_decode($code, true);
$token = $code->token;

$hash = strtolower(md5($token.salt)); 
$data = file_get_contents('url?param='.$token.'&tok='.$hash);

rewritten in python:

import hashlib
import urllib
import json

salt = "21x1231".encode()
code_request = urllib.request.urlopen('api..').read()
code = json.loads(code_request)
hash = hashlib.md5(code['token'].encode() + salt).hexdigest()
rq = urllib.request.urlopen("api?param=%s&tok=%s" % (code['token'], hash.lower())).read()

But it returns a message that the hash does not match. Although a similar code works in php, the data all comes as it should (look in the debug), the problem is with the hash or with the last request where it is passed to the url, what could be the problem?

Answer 1

php code is complete trash, which does not work at all:

• json_decode($code, true) returns an array, but $code->token is being treated as an object.
  
• $token.salt is what?
  

$salt = "21x1231";
$code = file_get_contetns('api...');
$code = json_decode($code);
$token = $code->token;

$hash = strtolower(md5($token.$salt)); 
$data = file_get_contents('url?param='.$token.'&tok='.$hash);

Answer 2

In md5, one argument is passed in both cases?

Answer 3

Your code does different things, do a similar algorithm - the result will be the same, md5 has nothing to do with it
