FAQPage Schema
How do I expose Hermes as an OpenAI-compatible API for frontend integrations?

You can expose Hermes as an OpenAI-compatible API by enabling the API server, configuring the host, port, and API key, and starting the gateway to provide a safe backend endpoint for frontends and automation pipelines.

What is an OpenAI-compatible API gateway and when do I need one for backend deployment?

An OpenAI-compatible API gateway acts as a configurable backend endpoint exposing language models. You need one to safely integrate model inference into frontends, internal tooling, or automation pipelines without custom API schemas.

How do I configure API key protection and health verification for a backend API server?

Configuring API key protection and health verification involves setting the server's security parameters and enabling built-in health and model availability checks. This ensures reliable and safe operation of the exposed endpoint.

Can I use a Hermes-backed model endpoint for internal tooling and automation pipelines?

Yes, you can use a Hermes-backed model endpoint for internal tooling and automation pipelines. The configurable gateway supports secure deployment practices to reduce integration risk and complexity across services.

Do I need any dependencies to start the Hermes API server?

No external dependencies are required to start the Hermes API server. You simply set API_SERVER_ENABLED to true, configure your host, port, and API key, then start the gateway to expose the endpoints.
