Introducing the HiveBuzz API for applications and websites

Several developers have recently contacted us to ask if it is possible to integrate HiveBuzz badges with their websites or applications.

This is why we have set up an API server that will allow them to easily obtain information relating to users' badges. The API is free to use. However, be aware that the call rate is throttled to avoid exhausting the server resources.

How to use the HiveBuzz API?

Endpoint

https://hivebuzz.me/api

/level/{username}


Method	GET
Description	Retrieve a user's level image
Example	https://hivebuzz.me/api/level/arcange

HiveBuzz will update the image automatically whenever the user's level changes (up or down).

If you want the API to return the "Dead Fish" image whenever a user has been inactive and hasn't performed any transaction on the blockchain for more than 30 days, you can add the parameter ?dead to your call.

Examples:
https://hivebuzz.me/api/level/arcange
https://hivebuzz.me/api/level/ned
https://hivebuzz.me/api/level/ned?dead

/badges/{username}

Description	Retrieve the list of all badges for a user, including those that were not collected by the user
