Python SDK

HiAPI is fully compatible with the OpenAI Python SDK. Just change the base_url.

Installation

pip install openai

Setup

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.hiapi.ai/v1"
)

Or using environment variables:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
export OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.hiapi.ai/v1"

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()  # reads from env

Image Generation

response = client.images.generate(
    model="qwen-image-2.0",
    prompt="a futuristic city at sunset",
    size="1024x1024"
)

image_url = response.data[0].url
print(image_url)

Chat-Compatible Image Generation

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="Nano-Banana",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "draw a cute cat"}],
    extra_body={"google": {"image_config": {"aspect_ratio": "1:1", "image_size": "1K"}}},
    stream=False
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Video (requests)

For video endpoints not covered by the OpenAI SDK, use requests:

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.hiapi.ai/v1/videos",
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    json={
        "model": "wan2.7-t2v",
        "prompt": "sunset timelapse over mountains",
        "seconds": "5"
    }
)

print(response.json())
