ds-free-api

Why we included this project

DeepSeek's free web chat is browser-only, but this Rust proxy exposes it as a standard OpenAI or Anthropic-compatible API. Point an existing client at /v1/chat/completions or /anthropic/v1/messages and you get streaming responses and tool calling without a paid key. The proxy handles the fragile parts of the web backend: it rotates a pool of logged-in accounts, backs off when the free tier rate-limits a session, and repairs malformed tool-call output through a multi-stage fix pipeline. A built-in admin panel manages API keys, account status, and request logs, and the single-binary build with one TOML config runs on a small server or in Docker. It's a practical option for teams prototyping against DeepSeek without a paid plan, or hobbyists wiring free chat into their own tools.
