Aerohive

Aerohive Networks was a cloud-managed networking company founded in 2006 by Changming Liu and headquartered in Milpitas, California. It pioneered controller-less, cloud-managed Wi-Fi and edge networking, managed through its HiveManager NG (later ExtremeCloud IQ) platform and access points. Aerohive went public on the NYSE under the ticker HIVE and was acquired by Extreme Networks in a deal that closed on 2019-08-09 for approximately $272 million. The company operated an Aerohive Developer Program with a public developer portal (developer.aerohive.com) and REST APIs for the HiveManager NG / ACS platform, plus a GitHub organization of reference applications. Following the acquisition the products were folded into ExtremeCloud IQ, and the legacy Aerohive API and its developer portal were retired (shutdown dated 2026-07-12), with integrators directed to migrate to the Extreme Platform ONE Developer Portal. This profile enriches the historical Aerohive API surface; it is a retired/acquired provider.

Aerohive is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Networking, Wireless, Wi-Fi, and Cloud Management.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aerohive: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
