Quickstart

Send your first request to the Decks Digital API.

1. Create an API key

API keys are created in the platform console and shown once. Store the value in your backend secret manager as DECKS_API_KEY.

HTTP

dk_live_••••••••••

2. Configure your client

Python

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.decksdigital.ai/v1",
    api_key="YOUR_DECKS_API_KEY"
)

3. Choose a model

Python

model="deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro"

4. Send a request

Python

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Hello."
        }
    ]
)

Switching models requires changing only the model identifier — the request and response format stays the same.
