DeepSeek opens its Search and Fetch APIs to developers
DeepSeek says its Search and Fetch APIs, powered by its own search engine, are now open to all developers. Apps and agent tools can use them for current web results and page retrieval. Its October 17 release gives a dated original announcement; the company’s pricing notice is covered as a separate commercial change. This is a DeepSeek API capability, not a new model trained by an integration partner.
