Official endpoints only
Every provider is accessed through its documented public API. Hive does not scrape sites or use reverse-engineered private endpoints. That makes coverage narrower in places than competitors who do scrape, and considerably more stable. A scraped source breaks without warning when the site changes; a documented API deprecates on a schedule.Little LLM-searchable data
Hive does not serve social sentiment, trend scores, or web summaries. Your model already searches the web better than an API wrapper would, and putting a stale caching layer between your agent and an open web source makes the answer worse. News is the exception:get_news returns CoinGecko’s article feed with title, description,
URL, author and publication date, filterable by coin, and get_coin_insights returns
CoinGecko’s research notes on an Enterprise plan. Both are ordinary credentialed tools that
cost a credit like any other.
What Hive is for is what a model cannot get any other way: live market state, on-chain data,
and contract risk.
Raw datapoints, not opinions
There are no buy signals, price predictions, or risk verdicts. Hive returns the inputs and your agent forms the judgment. Where a datapoint is questionable, that shows up as a field likeis_price_suspect rather than the row being filtered out.
Coverage varies by chain
EVM chains and Solana have the deepest coverage. Other chains vary by provider and by data type. A tool existing does not guarantee it covers your chain; ask, or check the category page.Portfolio values are estimates
A portfolio total is assembled from per-asset prices fetched at slightly different moments. Thin tokens may be marked at prices you could not actually realize. Treat totals as indicative.Anonymous lane is for evaluation
25 material calls per IP per day is enough to judge whether Hive fits. It is not a production tier, and it is capped per IP, so shared networks share the allowance.Some provider endpoints are Pro-gated upstream
DeFiLlama’s perpetual and derivatives endpoints need a DeFiLlama Pro subscription, and so do its Pro yield extensions. Those calls returnplan_required or missing_key rather than data. For
perpetual funding, use the CCXT tools instead, and check exact arguments with
get_api_endpoint_schema first.
