DeepSeek search and fetch – $0.75 per 1000 successful requests

DeepSeek has opened its in-house Search and Fetch APIs to agents and RAG apps: raw JSON endpoints that return ranked results with rerank scores, summaries, and optional page content, plus Markdown extraction for single URLs. Billing is per successful request rather than per token, at $0.75 per 1,000 calls, with failed requests, empty results, and timeouts free. Each API is capped at 5 QPS per account.
A request is billable only when it returns HTTP 200 and produces a result; failed requests, empty search results, and timeouts are not billed.
