Is it always pronounced "nye"?
I've searched online but found no sources on it.
I hear it sometimes as ни and sometimes as не.

Не is proclitic, meaning that as far as pronunciation is concerned, it's a part of the word that follows it.
This means that е in it is subject to vowel reduction if not stressed, and hence is pronounced as [ɪ].
The vowels in не in не о то́м [nʲɪɐˈtom] and не́ о чем ['nʲeətɕɪm] are pronounced differently.

Is there a way of knowing when a word is proclitic or is it just by memorizing that the word is proclitic? – Almonds812 Aug 6 '19 at 20:28
