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?
Eleven have their own guide: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code,
ChatGPT, Grok, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI, Qwen Code, 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?
12 providers including CoinGecko, Alchemy, DeFiLlama, GoPlus, 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?
Never. Hive holds the upstream credentials and manages their rate limits for every source
that needs one, and the RWA Perps venues need no credential at all: Hive reads their
official public endpoints keylessly. If a source needs a credential Hive does not hold, the
call returns
missing_key so you can tell it apart from an outage.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 534 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 how most supported clients connect. You add only the URL and the
client stores its own credential. Qwen Code is the exception today: its OAuth configuration
expects a static client id that Hive does not issue, so it reads a bearer token from its
config. Keys are otherwise 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?
News yes, sentiment no.
get_news returns CoinGecko’s article feed, filterable by coin,
and get_coin_insights returns its research notes on an Enterprise plan. There are no
social sentiment scores or trend summaries: your model searches the open web better than
an API wrapper would. The rest of Hive is what a model cannot get otherwise, which is live
market state, on-chain data, and contract risk.
