Quick Start

Get a first HiAPI request working in about 3 minutes.

1. Get your API key

   Sign up at hiapi.ai, then go to Dashboard → API Keys to create a new key for your test environment.

2. Add funds

   Go to Dashboard → Billing to add funds. New accounts usually receive enough trial balance to verify the flow.

3. Make your first request

   cURL

   curl https://api.hiapi.ai/v1/images/generations \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "model": "qwen-image-2.0",
       "prompt": "editorial-style product photo of a matte black kettle on a walnut table, warm morning light",
       "size": "1024x1024"
     }'

   Python

   from openai import OpenAI
   
   client = OpenAI(
       api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
       base_url="https://api.hiapi.ai/v1"
   )
   
   response = client.images.generate(
       model="qwen-image-2.0",
       prompt="editorial-style product photo of a matte black kettle on a walnut table, warm morning light",
       size="1024x1024"
   )
   
   print(response.data[0].url)

   Node.js

   import OpenAI from "openai";
   
   const client = new OpenAI({
     apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
     baseURL: "https://api.hiapi.ai/v1"
   });
   
   const response = await client.images.generate({
     model: "qwen-image-2.0",
     prompt: "editorial-style product photo of a matte black kettle on a walnut table, warm morning light",
     size: "1024x1024"
   });
   
   console.log(response.data[0].url);

4. View the result

   The response contains the generated image URL. Once that works, move model and prompt settings into your app config.
