Quickstart

Make your first Thrive API request in a few minutes.

1. Create a Thrive account

Developers use their normal Thrive account. Sign in or create one.

2. Create an API key

Open API Keys, pick the scopes you need and copy the key — it is shown once. Store it as an environment variable:

bash
export THRIVE_API_KEY="thrive_live_…"

3. Make your first request

curl "https://jointhrive.org/api/public/v1/markets/quote?symbol=AAPL" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $THRIVE_API_KEY"

4. Receive a response

json
{
  "object": "quote",
  "symbol": "AAPL",
  "price": 231.42
}

5. Build your first Thrive experience

List simulations with /v1/simulations and link users straight into one, or connect an AI agent through Thrive MCP.
