Migration Guides

Upgrading from 0.9.0 to 1.0.0

Breaking Changes

  • API Authentication: Bearer token now required for all API endpoints
  • Configuration: Environment variables restructured (see .env.example)
  • Dependencies: Updated to newer versions (see requirements.txt)

Migration Steps

  1. Update Environment Configuration

    # Old format
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_key

# New format
GROQ_API_KEY=your_key
HACKRX_BEARER_TOKEN=your_token

  2. Update API Calls

    # Old format
curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/run" -d '{"query": "test"}'

# New format
curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/hackrx/run" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
     -d '{"documents": "url", "questions": ["test"]}'

  3. Update Dependencies

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Upgrading from 0.5.0 to 1.0.0

Complete Rewrite

Version 1.0.0 is a complete rewrite with significant architectural changes:

  • New Framework: Migrated from basic Python to FastAPI/Flask
  • New AI Integration: Switched to Groq API for better performance
