# DeepSeek Integration via LowCodeAPI
**Last Updated**: February 11, 2026
## Overview
Large-scale language models and AI services with advanced chat completion and code generation capabilities
**Categories:**
- {'id': 'frontier-ai-labs', 'name': 'Frontier AI labs'}
## Base Endpoint
https://api.lowcodeapi.com/deepseek
**Important**: Always include the provider name in the URL path after `api.lowcodeapi.com/`
## Authentication
**Type:** TOKEN
**Official Documentation:** https://api-docs.deepseek.com
## URL Format (Important)
LowCodeAPI supports two URL formats. **Always try the New Format first**, then fall back to Old Format if needed.
### New Format (Priority)
- Path parameters stay in the URL path
- Do NOT include path parameters as query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/{id}?api_token=XXX`
### Old Format (Fallback)
- Path parameters become query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/id?id={id}&api_token=XXX`
### Decision Flow for AI Agents
1. Always use **New Format** first - keep path parameters in the URL path
2. If you get a 404 or error, try **Old Format** with sanitized path
3. Log which format worked for future requests to this provider

curl -X POST "https://api.lowcodeapi.com/deepseek/v1/chat/completions?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "your-model-name",
"messages": [
{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, how can you help me?"}

}'
# Response includes generated content
```
### Example 2: Text Generation with Path Parameters

```bash
# Generate content using a specific model
curl -X POST "https://api.lowcodeapi.com/deepseek/v1/models/generate?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"prompt": "Write a short poem about technology",
"max_tokens": 100
}'
# Or if the provider uses model in the path:
curl -X POST "https://api.lowcodeapi.com/deepseek/v1/models/{MODEL_ID}:generateContent?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
