# Data sources

> The 12 data sources behind Hive, and what each one contributes.

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.

## 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.
