Disclosure
DreamSkin Studio is supported by HiAPI.
HiAPI is an optional third-party API service. Using DreamSkin does not require HiAPI, and installing or restoring a theme never changes your provider settings.
Two independent workflows
Complete and verify theming before considering any provider configuration. Never approve an install prompt that mixes the two.
Theme workflow
Reviews the upstream theme engine, verifies artwork SHA-256, applies appearance parameters, verifies the renderer, and keeps a Restore path.
API workflow
Reviews a provider's identity, endpoint, pricing, data handling, credentials, supported models, and a reversible configuration change.
Before choosing an API provider
Treat provider configuration as a security and billing decision, not as a cosmetic setup step.
Verify the destination
Confirm the exact Base URL, provider ownership, documentation, supported models, and status page.
Protect credentials
Create a dedicated key where possible, keep it out of screenshots and messages, and know how to revoke it.
Understand cost and data handling
Review pricing, retention, privacy, rate limits, refunds, and any regional or account constraints.
Test reversibly
Save the prior provider configuration, make one explicit change, run a small test request, and verify billing before broader use.
