What is the DeepSeek API?

The DeepSeek API family on Muapi brings V4 Flash, V4.1 Flash, and V4 Pro into one model catalog. Submit a request with your Muapi API key, then retrieve its result through the shared prediction endpoint or use the available streaming endpoint.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash supports text and image input, Responses-style function calling, structured JSON output, and reasoning effort from none through max. Omit reasoning_effort to use the provider's default. Built-in web search is not supported by this model.

Quick start — DeepSeek V4.1 Flash API

Submit a prompt to the V4.1 Flash endpoint, save the request ID, then poll for the generated text. The same endpoint supports optional image_url and reasoning_effort fields.

1. Submit a text request

curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/deepseek-v4-1-flash \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"Explain how a mixture-of-experts model routes tokens","reasoning_effort":"medium"}'

# Response: {"request_id":"REQUEST_ID"}

Use reasoning_effort to choose a supported thinking level, or omit it for the model default.

2. Send an image

curl -X POST https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/deepseek-v4-1-flash \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"Describe the chart and summarize its trend","image_url":"https://example.com/chart.png"}'

Provide a publicly reachable image URL with a question about its contents.

3. Poll for the result

curl https://api.muapi.ai/api/v1/predictions/REQUEST_ID/result \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Read the generated response from the completed prediction.
