DeepSeek (BYOK)
How to create an API key for DeepSeek and add it to AnyRouter via Bring Your Own Key.
DeepSeek is a supported BYOK provider. Bring your own API key string, and AnyRouter routes your requests through it — no platform credits are charged for BYOK-backed calls.
Get your API key
- Log in to the DeepSeek Platform.
- Open API Keys.
- Click Create API key, name it, and copy the key (
sk-...).
Add it to AnyRouter
- Go to Dashboard → BYOK.
- Find DeepSeek under Available and click Add key.
- Paste your key into the API key field.
- Create key: DeepSeek console
- Default base URL (editable on the key form):
https://api.deepseek.com
- Click Save. AnyRouter runs a live validation call against DeepSeek before storing the key — if it fails, the dialog shows the upstream error and the key isn't saved.
