#Hydra REST API Reference

The Hydra public REST API provides unauthenticated, read-only access to curated intelligence data. These endpoints power the open globe view and are available to anyone without an API key.

For full-featured access with filters, pagination, and metadata, see the token-gated REST API.

#Available Endpoints

#Notes

• All data is curated and thinned — position data is decimated, signals exclude metadata fields
• Responses contain no pagination — fixed result counts per endpoint
• For real-time data, use the WebSocket Stream instead
• For full historical queries with filters, use the token-gated API with an API key
