## DeepSeek Sample
### How to Get Your DeepSeek API Key
A DeepSeek API key is a secret token for accessing DeepSeek's powerful AI models, obtained by signing up/logging in at platform.deepseek.com, navigating to the API Keys section in your dashboard, and clicking "Create API Key," requiring an account and potentially adding funds for usage beyond free limits.
**Steps:**
1. **Sign Up/Login**: Go to [platform.deepseek.com](https://platform.deepseek.com/) and log in (often with a Google account).
2. **Navigate to API Keys**: Find the "API Keys" section in your dashboard (usually on the left sidebar).
3. **Create Key**: Click the "Create API Key" button and give it a name (e.g., "my-app").
4. **Copy Key**: Copy the generated key immediately as it's shown only once.
5. **Add Credits (if needed)**: You might need to add funds or a payment method for usage beyond the free tier.
#### Monitoring and Running
For an enhanced development experience, use the provided `run.sh` script to start the sample with automatic reloading:
```bash
./run.sh
```
This script uses `watchmedo` to monitor changes in:
- `src/` (Python logic)
- `../../packages` (Genkit core)
- `../../plugins` (Genkit plugins)
- File patterns: `*.py`, `*.prompt`, `*.json`
Changes will automatically trigger a restart of the sample. You can also pass command-line arguments directly to the script, e.g., `./run.sh --some-flag`.
### Usage
1. Setup environment and install dependencies:
```bash
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv sync
```
2. Set DeepSeek API key (get one from [DeepSeek Platform](https://platform.deepseek.com/)):
```bash
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=your-api-key
```
3. Run the sample:
```bash
genkit start -- uv run src/main.py
```
