Publishing & Installing on HiveStore
HiveStore is Bothive's marketplace of bots. You can install bots others have shared, or publish your own.
Install a bot
- Open HiveStore in the dashboard.
- Browse or search for a bot that fits your need.
- Click Install — it's added to your workspace, ready to test and call like a bot you built yourself.
Installed bots respect their creator's setup, but run under your account and quota when you use them.
Publish your own
Built something useful? Share it:
- Open the bot and choose Publish.
- Add a clear name, description, and what it does.
- Submit — once live, others can discover and install it.
Make it good to share
- Write instructions that don't assume your private context — a published bot runs for strangers.
- If it needs an integration, say so in the description so installers know to connect it.
- Keep the scope tight and the value obvious.
Next steps
- Build your first bot — make something worth sharing.
- Embed a bot & go live — put it on your own site instead.
Quick tip
Use the test pane to iterate quickly. Every change you make is live — no need to save first.
Important
API keys are shown only once. Store them securely and never commit them to version control.
Best practice
Test your bot with edge cases before deployment. Try empty inputs, long messages, and special characters.
Pro tip
Chain multiple specialized bots in a workflow for better results than one general-purpose bot.
