# Hyperbolic Integration

> Integrate Helicone with Hyperbolic, a platform for running open-source LLMs. Monitor and analyze interactions with any Hyperbolic-deployed model using a simple base_url configuration.

import LegacyWarning from "/snippets/legacy-provider-warning.mdx";

<LegacyWarning />

You can seamlessly integrate Helicone with the OpenAI compatible models that are deployed on Hyperbolic.

The integration process closely mirrors the [proxy approach](/integrations/openai/javascript). The only distinction lies in the modification of the base_url to point to the dedicated Hyperbolic endpoint `https://hyperbolic.helicone.ai/v1`.

```bash
base_url="https://hyperbolic.helicone.ai/v1"
```

Please ensure that the base_url is correctly set to ensure successful integration.

## Proxy Example

<Note>
  The integration process closely mirrors the [proxy
  approach](/integrations/openai/javascript). More docs available there.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Helicone account + Generate an API Key">
    Log into [helicone](https://www.helicone.ai) or create an account. Once you have an account, you
    can generate an [API key](https://helicone.ai/developer).
  </Step>
  <Step title="Create Hyperbolic account + Retrieve an API Key">
    Log into [app.hyperbolic.xyz](https://app.hyperbolic.xyz/) or create an account. Once you have an account, you
    can retrieve your [API key](https://app.hyperbolic.xyz/settings).
  </Step>
  <Step title="Set HELICONE_WRITE_API_KEY as an environment variable">
    <Note>Helicone write only API keys are only required if passing auth in URL path [read more here.](/faq/secret-vs-public-key)
    Alternatively, pass auth in as header.</Note>

```javascript
HELICONE_WRITE_API_KEY=<your API key>
HYPERBOLIC_API_KEY=<your API key>
```
