# Hermes

Hermes is an open-source service that listens to the Pythnet and the Wormhole Network for Pyth price updates, and
serves them via a convenient web API.

Hermes allows users to easily [fetch price updates](../fetch-price-updates) via a REST API, or subscribe to a websocket for streaming
updates.

## Public Endpoints

The Pyth Data Association operates two public endpoints for Hermes, which can be used to test integrations with Pyth

Network:

| Channel | URL |
| ------- | -------------------------------- |
| Stable | https://hermes.pyth.network |
| Beta | https://hermes-beta.pyth.network |

Users must select a Hermes instance with the same channel (Stable / Beta) as their price feed contract.
Stable represents the production data feeds, and Beta is a testing environment for development purposes.
Most users should select Stable for both Hermes and the contract.
Stable feeds are available on both mainnet and most testnets (including all EVM testnets).
URL: https://hermes.pyth.network

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
for maximum resilience and decentralization. Moreover, Hermes is designed to be self-hosted, so developers can run their own
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.
