Migrating to HINOW

Migrate existing applications to the HINOW API with controlled changes and behavior tests.

Updated on Aug 09, 2026

Migrate in stages: first reproduce the current behavior with a HINOW model; then evaluate quality, cost and latency before optimizing prompts or adding features.

The HINOW API uses Bearer authentication and the base URL https://api.hinow.ai/v1. How much you need to change depends on the interface you use today.

  1. 1

    Inventory the integration

    List the endpoints, models, parameters, tools, images, streaming and response fields used by the application.

  2. 2

    Swap credentials and contract

    Use HINOW_API_KEY, the full URL https://api.hinow.ai/v1/chat/completions and a HINOW model identifier.

  3. 3

    Preserve the behavior

    Keep the prompt and the test cases at first. That makes differences easy to identify.

  4. 4

    Validate with representative traffic

    Compare quality, format, errors, tokens, cost and latency before rolling out gradually.
