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.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Hummingbot the way a machine reads it — 21 machine-readable artifacts across 17 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Hummingbot scores 36.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 58/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Hummingbot

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Hummingbot. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 17

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
