DeepSeek Adds Models and User Balance API References

Checked on July 2, 2026: DeepSeek's official API reference documents a `GET /models` endpoint that currently examples only `deepseek-v4-flash` and `deepseek-v4-pro`, plus a `GET /user/balance` endpoint with `is_available`, currency, granted balance, and topped-up balance fields for direct budget checks.

What we verified on July 2, 2026

  • DeepSeek's official GET /models reference says the endpoint lists currently available models and its example response currently shows deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro owned by deepseek.
  • The same page tells readers to check Models & Pricing for supported models, which means the model-list endpoint is a runtime discovery surface, while the pricing page remains the public contract for rates and support framing.
  • DeepSeek's official GET /user/balance reference exposes a direct account-budget check with is_available plus balance_infos entries for currency, total_balance, granted_balance, and topped_up_balance.
  • The balance example currently documents CNY and USD as the possible currency values, which matters for teams reconciling promotional credits versus paid top-ups.
  • This is developer-account infrastructure guidance, not storefront inventory guidance: it does not create any new /pricing card, stock promise, or plan migration in this repo.
