Hummingbot

Hummingbot is an open source Python framework, maintained by the Hummingbot Foundation, that lets traders build and run automated, high-frequency crypto trading strategies across both centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) venues. The project ships several developer-facing components: the Hummingbot client (a CLI trading bot), Gateway (a TypeScript middleware that standardizes DEX/blockchain endpoints behind one REST API on port 15888, documented with a published OpenAPI spec), the Hummingbot API (a FastAPI REST server on port 8000 that orchestrates multiple bots, accounts, portfolios, and market data), an async Python API client, an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and a set of open Agent Skills for AI trading agents. With 300+ exchange connectors and Apache-2.0 licensing, Hummingbot reports having facilitated tens of billions of dollars in trade volume across 100K+ deployed instances.

Hummingbot publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including /chain/ethereum API, /chain/solana API, /config API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto, Trading, Blockchain, and DeFi.

Hummingbot’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, changelog, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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/hummingbot: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
