DeepSeek's current docs now expose a first-party starter trio for curl, Node.js, and Python chat calls, giving V4 Pro users a cleaner official baseline than older alias snippets

Checked on July 14, 2026: DeepSeek's official docs sitemap currently lists dedicated `chat_curl`, `chat_nodejs`, and `chat_python` sample pages, and all three use the current `https://api.deepseek.com` endpoint plus `deepseek-v4-pro` instead of older alias-first snippets.

What we verified on July 14, 2026

  • DeepSeek's official docs sitemap currently lists three baseline chat sample pages: chat_curl, chat_nodejs, and chat_python.
  • The curl sample uses the production chat completions endpoint directly: https://api.deepseek.com/chat/completions.
  • The Node.js and Python samples both use the OpenAI SDK shape against the same DeepSeek base URL, which is useful because many community snippets still drift between provider-specific wrappers and older alias examples.
  • All three starter samples use deepseek-v4-pro as the model name, not deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner.
  • The samples also keep the current thinking-mode pattern visible: high reasoning effort and an explicit thinking payload rather than a legacy minimal example.
