# Connect Neovate Code to APIONE

> Add APIONE as a custom model provider.

## Install and prepare

Install from the [official Neovate Code project](https://github.com/neovateai/neovate-code):

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @neovate/code
export APIONE_API_KEY="YOUR_APIONE_KEY"
```

## Add the provider

Merge this into `~/.neovate/config.json`. Replace both model placeholders with the same actual model ID and retain other settings.

```json theme={null}
{
  "model": "apione/YOUR_APIONE_MODEL_ID",
  "provider": {
    "apione": {
      "name": "APIONE",
      "env": ["APIONE_API_KEY"],
      "api": "https://api.apione.ai/v1",
      "apiFormat": "openai",
      "models": {
        "YOUR_APIONE_MODEL_ID": {"name": "APIONE model"}
      }
    }
  }
}
```

The apione/ prefix identifies the client-side provider. The portion after it is the model ID sent to the API. Set context and output limits using APIONE model parameters instead of relying on inferred defaults.

## Launch and verify

Run `neovate` from the terminal containing the key. Use `/model` to check your selection, test text generation, and then test project file reading.

For provider/model not found, check that the configuration key is the singular provider and that the model is registered in models. For authentication errors, check access to APIONE\_API\_KEY.

See the official [provider types](https://github.com/neovateai/neovate-code/blob/master/src/provider/providers/types.ts) and [configuration implementation](https://github.com/neovateai/neovate-code/blob/master/src/provider/providers/utils.ts).
