Make your first request

  1. Create a paid API key.
    Open the Developer Dashboard and save the key when it is shown.
  2. Use the public model id.
    Use deepseek-v4-flash; the gateway maps the upstream model internally.
  3. Stream or call tools.
    Structured messages, SSE, tool calls, and tool results are passed through the selected protocol.
curl https://deepseek-v4.io/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEEPSEEK_V4_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-v4-flash",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Explain this function."}]
  }'

Billing and service boundary

Paid token packs fund DeepSeek-V4.io web chat and DeepSeek-V4.io API usage. The free signup balance does not allow API key creation.

DeepSeek Platform and OpenRouter accounts, keys, and balances are separate from this service. DeepSeek-V4.io may use third-party inference providers, but clients never receive the upstream credential.

Usage is settled after the provider reports input and output tokens. Review requests and token usage in the Developer Dashboard.
