DeepSeek Introduces New Web Content APIs
DeepSeek has released its new Search API and Fetch API, designed to provide AI agents and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications with access to current web content. These APIs are offered as raw JSON APIs and utilize the same bearer authentication as the existing DeepSeek API.
Search and Fetch Functionality
The Search API allows users to query the web using DeepSeek's proprietary search engine, returning structured results. The Fetch API is designed to retrieve the content of a single web page, converting it into Markdown format. Both APIs are accessible via the base URL https://api.deepseek.com.
Pricing and Usage
DeepSeek's new Search and Fetch APIs are priced at $0.75 per 1000 successful requests. This pricing model applies to both the Search API, which finds web pages based on a query, and the Fetch API, which retrieves specific web page content.
Developer Integration
Developers can integrate these APIs using standard HTTP requests, with examples provided for `curl` and Python's `requests` library. The Search API supports query operators for more refined searches, such as specifying sites, languages, and date ranges. Responses include details like title, URL, snippet, summary, and content.
