Migrating OpenAI SDK Clients to SeekAPI (DeepSeek Gateway)

The 30-second change

Point your OpenAI-compatible client at the SeekAPI gateway endpoint and swap in a DeepSeek model name that matches your account tier.

Python example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
api_key="YOUR_SEEKAPI_KEY",
base_url="https://api.seekapi.ai/v1",
)
```

Before production

Run a canary service account through the same middleware you use in prod (retries, timeouts, idempotency keys). Confirm billing meters move in the dashboard for a single synthetic request.
