Integration tutorial

Connect Hermes Agent

Use Hermes Agent’s documented OpenAI API provider and optional base URL.

Buy or create a key

Use guest checkout or create an account key.

Set the base URL

https://discountedtokens.com/v1

Send a small test

Verify the route before moving production traffic.

~/.hermes/.env

OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_DISCOUNTEDTOKENS_KEY OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://discountedtokens.com/v1

Run and verify

hermes chat --provider openai-api --model gpt-5.6-sol

Troubleshooting

Put credentials in ~/.hermes/.env, never config.yaml.
Use provider openai-api, not the ChatGPT OAuth provider.
Run hermes doctor if the provider or model is not discovered.

Configuration source: official documentation. DiscountedTokens is an independent gateway and is not endorsed by the client vendor.

Successful API requests are billed at the displayed token rates, metered to a fraction of a cent. Charges accumulate and are deducted from your prepaid balance in whole US cents, so a small request is not rounded up to a minimum charge.
