ThriveHive was a Boston-based guided marketing platform for small businesses (10 or fewer employees), founded in 2011 by Max Faingezicht and Adam Blake and part of the Techstars Boston 2015 class. It was acquired by Propel Marketing (GateHouse Media) in 2016 for $11.8M and the brand was folded into Gannett's LocaliQ after the 2019 GateHouse-Gannett merger. The company published no public API or developer portal; thrivehive.com now serves LocaliQ content behind an expired TLS certificate.
ThriveHive is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Marketing, Small Business, Advertising, and Software-as-a-Service.
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/thrivehive: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
