Migrating to HINOW

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

Updated on Aug 10, 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.

Swap credentials and contract

  1. 1

    Preserve the behavior

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

  2. 2

    Validate with representative traffic

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

  3. 3

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

    Mantenha o prompt e os casos de teste inicialmente. Isso torna diferenças fáceis de identificar.

  4. 4

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

    Compare qualidade, formato, erros, tokens, custo e tempo de resposta antes de liberar gradualmente.
