How to build a Hive app (introducing the Hive app API) October 18, 2013, 10:56:50 AM

Last edit: February 02, 2014, 10:06:47 PM by hivewallet #1 Hive is pleased to announce our v1 app API, now available to developers!



Hive apps are made with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. They're basically just websites with JavaScript code, running in an embedded browser inside the Hive window. You can use most features you'd expect from a standard modern web browser.



Full instructions for how to create a Hive application can be found on our wiki here:

API-specific documentation can be found here:

Frequently asked questions
