What You Get With Your Key

Your API key provides immediate access to our hosted chat-completions endpoint. It supports streaming via Server-Sent Events (SSE) and function calling, making it a direct replacement for standard OpenAI client code. The key connects to the 'uncensored' model, which runs on our GPU servers and is tuned to answer without content refusals for lawful adult, fictional, or security-research topics. You get a 100,000-token context window for both prompt and completion. The key is tied to one account; you can regenerate it at any time, which instantly revokes the old key if it leaks.

Billing and Free Trial Details

Every new account receives $0.50 in trial credit valid for 7 days, requiring no credit card. When the trial expires or credit is used, you can top up starting at $10 via crypto (USDT or USDC). Pricing is transparent and pay-as-you-go: $0.25 per 1M input tokens and $1.00 per 1M output tokens. There are no monthly fees or subscription locks. Paid credit never expires, so you only pay for what you use. Requests are limited to 300 per minute per key with an 8 MB body limit.

Questions and answers

Do I need a credit card to get started?

No. You can create an account and receive your API key using only an email and password. The $0.50 trial credit is available without card verification. You only need crypto (USDT or USDC) wallet when you are ready to top up your prepaid balance.

What happens when my trial credit ends?

Your API key remains active, but your requests will fail once the $0.50 trial credit is exhausted. You can add funds starting at $10 to continue using the API. There is no automatic billing or subscription renewal; you control exactly when you spend money.

How do I replace a leaked or compromised key?

You can regenerate your API key at any time from your account settings. This action immediately invalidates the old key, so any services using the leaked key will stop working. You can then paste your new key into your client configuration to resume service.

Is this the official DeepSeek API?

No, this is an independent service. While we support the same OpenAI-compatible protocol, our model is an uncensored open-weight model hosted on our own servers. It is not GPT, Claude, or the official DeepSeek model. Check the official DeepSeek documentation for their specific pricing and limits.
