HiAPI: what it charges, what it allows, and what it keeps
thecontinuitylayer.com/inference-apis/hiapiOne API key for text, image, video and audio models from many providers, with text models billed per token and media models per image, per second or per request.
- 1Yes
Does HiAPI publish a per-token price?
Yes, by HiAPI's own page.
The public pricing page lists text-model rates per 1M tokens without a sign-in; deepseek-v4-flash costs $0.14 input and $0.28 output, while image, video and audio models are priced per image, per second or per request.
Yes means: Per-token prices are on a public page with no sign-in. Partly means only some models are priced in public, or the price sits on a model page rather than the pricing page.
- 2Partly
Does HiAPI publish its rate limits?
Partly, by HiAPI's own page.
The docs publish one account-wide limit of 20 write and 60 read requests per 10 seconds for the task and storage endpoints, with no token limits and no numbers per tier or model.
Yes means: The docs give request or token numbers for each tier or model. Partly means some numbers, such as a concurrency cap or the top tiers only; no means the numbers are only shown inside a signed-in account.
- 3Not stated
Does HiAPI train on your API prompts by default?
HiAPI's pages do not say.
Neither the privacy policy nor the terms say whether prompts or outputs sent through the API are used for training, by HiAPI or by the upstream providers whose models it serves.
Yes means: Here no is the good answer: the provider's page says what you send its API is not used for training unless you opt in. Yes means it is unless you opt out; partly means it depends on the plan, the tier or the upstream provider.
- 4Partly
Does HiAPI say how long it keeps your prompts and outputs?
Partly, by HiAPI's own page.
The privacy policy keeps API call logs for 90 days by default without saying whether those logs hold the prompt text, and the storage docs expire temporary outputs after about 7 days unless you pay to keep them; no period is stated for prompts themselves.
Yes means: A stated period, or a statement that nothing is kept by default. Partly means a period for some users or requests but not others.
- 5No
Does HiAPI run a public status page?
No, by HiAPI's own page.
No public status page was found: the site links none, and status.hiapi.ai is a sign-in page for HiAPI's own team with no uptime or incident history.
Yes means: A public page shows current uptime and past incidents.
