Hive normalizes 12 data sources behind one interface. Nine are external providers. The other three are Hive’s own: an archive of historical derivatives data, a normalized RWA perpetuals feed, and an allowlisted fetch for public APIs that have no dedicated integration. Your agent asks a question; Hive decides which source answers it and tells you which one it used.

The providers

How routing works

You do not choose a provider. Ask for a price and Hive decides whether that means CoinGecko, Alchemy, or CCXT based on the asset, the venue, and which sources are healthy right now. The provider field in every receipt tells you which one answered, so the same question can legitimately cite different sources on different days.

Managed keys

Hive holds the upstream credentials. You do not sign up with CoinGecko or Alchemy separately, and you do not manage their rate limits. That covers every source in the table above that needs a credential at all. The RWA Perps venues need none: Hive reads their official public endpoints keylessly. If a source needs a credential Hive does not hold, calls to it return missing_key rather than failing silently, so you can tell the difference from an outage.

Only official endpoints

Every provider above is accessed through its documented, official API. Hive does not scrape sites or use reverse-engineered private endpoints, which means coverage is narrower in places than it could be, and considerably more stable.

What Hive deliberately does not cover

Hive serves raw datapoints, not opinions, and skips most of what your model can already search for. There are no social sentiment scores and no trend summaries. Those are things an LLM with web access handles better, and wrapping them in an API would add a stale layer between your agent and the source. News is carried, because CoinGecko already publishes it as structured data rather than as a page to be scraped: get_news returns its article feed, filterable by coin, and get_coin_insights returns its research notes on an Enterprise plan.
