Getting Started

Welcome aboard, adventurer! We built our API to be simple and fun, requiring very little to get started.

Overview

Our API employs a REST model leveraging JSON requests and responses.

Create an Account

In order to begin, you'll need to create an account! Go to app.glasshive.com and sign up!

Create an API Key

The GlassHive API leverages API keys you generate through your account settings. Please go to your account settings and generate a new API key. When making an API call, please add the following header:

Authorization: <API Key>

API Rate Limits

We allow 10 requests per second when calling our API. If you go over this limit, a 429 status code will get returned until the limit is reset. Continually going over this limit aggressively could cause your account to be disabled. Place rate limiting strategies in your integration to account for this.
