Hermes is an open-source service that listens to the Pythnet and the Wormhole Network for Pyth price updates, and
4+
serves them via a convenient web API.
5+
6+
Hermes allows users to easily [fetch price updates](../fetch-price-updates) via a REST API, or subscribe to a websocket for streaming

updates.

Stable represents the production data feeds, and Beta is a testing environment for development purposes.

For production deployments, developers integrating with Pyth Network are **strongly encouraged** to host their own

instance of Hermes or obtain a Hermes node from our RPC providers for maximum resilience and decentralization.

For production deployments, developers integrating with Pyth Network are **strongly encouraged** to use Node Providers
17+
for maximum resilience and decentralization. Moreover, Hermes is designed to be self-hosted, so developers can run their own
18+
instance of Hermes to fetch Pyth price updates. Please note it is not recommended to use the public endpoint for production as it has rate limits.
