We host facts — boss HP values, geo drop counts, area names, slugs, and brief original summaries. Facts are not copyrightable in most jurisdictions.

We do not host: in-game sprites, portraits, music, copyrighted lore text, or any extracted asset. For art and lore we link out to community wikis. If a contribution accidentally includes copyrighted text we will paraphrase or remove it.

Where a fact originates from the Hollow Knight Wiki or another community wiki, we cite the page in sources. Wiki content is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.

Team Cherry’s fan-content policy disallows crowdfunding tied to their IP. We honor that — HallownestAPI is free, has no paid tier, and never will. Hosting and maintenance are covered by sponsors of the maintainers’ open-source work, not by selling access to this data.

If you represent Team Cherry and want anything changed or removed, open an issue on GitHub or email the maintainer. We will respond promptly.
