Quickstart

One key, one base URL, your first response.

1. Get a key

Request access. After approval, create an API key and export it as DHEEX_API_KEY in your shell or secret manager. Keep it out of source code.

2. Make a request

Use https://api.dheex.com/v1 as the base URL. SDK examples require the openai package (pip install openai or npm install openai).

curl --fail-with-body https://api.dheex.com/v1/responses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DHEEX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017",
    "input": "Hello, dheeX.",
    "store": false
  }'

Replace deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 with a model enabled for your key:

curl --fail-with-body https://api.dheex.com/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DHEEX_API_KEY"

Use store: false. For conversations, send earlier input and output items in the next request. Responses supports HTTP streaming; response retrieval and WebSockets are not published. Tool support depends on your model.

On HTTP 429, wait for the current request to finish before retrying. Keys expire after 30 days; create a replacement before revoking the old key.
