Do I need an account to try Hive?
Do I need an account to try Hive?
No. The anonymous lane covers 25 material calls per IP per day, resetting at 00:00 UTC.
Add the endpoint and start asking. Discovery calls do not count against it.
Which clients work?
Which clients work?
Nine have their own guide: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code,
ChatGPT, Grok, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. Any client that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP
works, whether or not it is listed. See install.
Where does the data come from?
Where does the data come from?
13 providers including CoinGecko, Alchemy, DeFiLlama, GoPlus, Codex, CCXT, Helius, and
Hyperliquid. Every response names which one answered. See
data sources.
Do I need my own provider API keys?
Do I need my own provider API keys?
No. Hive holds the upstream credentials and manages their rate limits. One Hive
credential covers every provider.
Why does my agent only see eight tools?
Why does my agent only see eight tools?
That is intended. The root endpoint stays compact and routes to the rest through
discovery, because a 607 tool list would crowd out the conversation and make selection
worse. See how it works.
What happens when I run out of credits?
What happens when I run out of credits?
Requests stop with a quota error. Hive does not bill overage, so a runaway agent produces
errors rather than an invoice.
Can Hive place trades?
Can Hive place trades?
No. Hive is read-only market data. It does not execute trades, hold funds, or give
financial advice.
Is my API key visible in my client config?
Is my API key visible in my client config?
Not with OAuth, which is what every supported interactive client uses. You add only the
URL and the client stores its own credential. Keys are for headless environments that
cannot open a browser.
I lost my API key. Can I retrieve it?
I lost my API key. Can I retrieve it?
No. The full secret is shown once at creation; Hive stores only a hash and a short
non-secret prefix. Disable the old key and create a new one.
Why is a price flagged as suspect?
Why is a price flagged as suspect?
Sources disagreed beyond a threshold. Rather than silently picking one, Hive sets
is_price_suspect so your agent can surface the disagreement.How do I know if data is stale?
How do I know if data is stale?
Every material response carries
fetched_at. Compare it against your own clock. Provider
health for that call is in runtime_status.Does Hive cover news or sentiment?
Does Hive cover news or sentiment?
No, deliberately. Your model searches the web better than an API wrapper would. Hive
covers what a model cannot get otherwise: live market state, on-chain data, and contract
risk.
