Why use JJAPI for this API
Cheapest competitive model
DeepSeek's per-million-token rate is a fraction of GPT-4o's, and on many tasks the gap doesn't show.
Reasoning output streamed
deepseek-reasoner streams its thinking tokens β JJAPI exposes them as `reasoning_content`.
Always available
When DeepSeek's official API has capacity issues (it happens), JJAPI fails over to mirror endpoints automatically.
OpenAI-compatible
Same call signature as GPT-4o β switch models with a single string.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.jjapi.net/v1",
api_key="sk-jjapi-...",
)
r = client.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-v3.5", # current as of 2026-05-23
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hi"}],
)
print(r.choices[0].message.content) Frequently asked
Can I use DeepSeek with Cursor or Continue?
Yes. Point your editor's OpenAI-compatible provider at JJAPI and pick deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner.
Why is DeepSeek sometimes faster than GPT-4o?
On JJAPI we route to whichever DeepSeek mirror has the lowest queue depth at request time.
Does function calling work?
Yes β deepseek-chat supports OpenAI-style `tools`. deepseek-reasoner is a reasoning model without tool use.
