Hive Inspect API: Connect Your Tools to Your Hive Data

In the dashboard: Business Tools → API Access

The Hive Inspect API is a work in progress. It is available to a small group of accounts today, and the release for everyone is coming very soon. To ask for early access, message us from the chat bubble in your dashboard.

The Hive Inspect API lets other tools work with your account’s data. Use it to keep a CRM in sync, build agent scorecards, feed a spreadsheet or dashboard, or automate follow-ups with your own code.

What you can do

Data	Access	What it covers
Contacts	Read and write	Agents, clients and every other contact. List, filter, create and update. Set tags and the photo.
Contact tags	Read	The tags you created in the dashboard, with how many contacts hold each one.
Contact stats	Read	Buying, listing and client inspection counts and revenue per contact, with date filters.
Agencies	Read	The brokerages your agents belong to, with phone, website and address.
Inspections	Read	Schedule, address, cover photo, services, inspectors, contacts, price and payment, agreement and report status.
Inspection attachments	Read and upload	Additional reports and additional documents, per inspection or across your whole account.
Webhooks	Push	Hive tells your URL when an inspection is confirmed, rescheduled, canceled or published, or a contact changes.
MCP	Read	Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant and ask questions about your data.
Inspection events	Read	Extra appointments on an inspection, such as a radon drop-off or pick-up.

Make your first request

Create an API key

Go to Business Tools → API Access and click Create API Key. Copy the key right away. Hive shows the full key only once.

Call the API

Send the key in the Authorization header. This example lists five agents:

curl "https://api.hiveinspect.com/v1/contacts?role=agent&limit=5" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Read the response

Lists return your records in data, a next_cursor to fetch the next page, and the total number of matching records:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "0b6f2c1e-7d1a-4c55-9a5e-2f3b8c1d4e6f",
      "first_name": "Dana",
      "last_name": "Reyes",
      "email": "dana@example.com",

    }
  ],
  "next_cursor": "0b6f2c1e-7d1a-4c55-9a5e-2f3b8c1d4e6f",
  "total": 214
}
