StarSeaAPI

Quickstart

1. Create an API key

Sign up, then create a token in the console. A key works across the whole catalogue; scope and quota can be restricted per key.

2. Point your client at the endpoint

Set base_url to https://starseaapi.com/v1 and use the key. Any OpenAI-compatible SDK, IDE or desktop client works.

3. Pick a model

Start with a low-cost tier for prototyping. Every id in the catalogue can be swapped without touching code.

4. Watch cost, not just quality

Output tokens are usually priced at a multiple of input, and reasoning models emit thinking tokens. Keep stable prompt prefixes first so caching applies.

Code

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
  base_url="https://starseaapi.com/v1",
  api_key="sk-your-key"
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="deepseek-v4.1-flash",
  messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Endpoints

• /v1/responses — OpenAI-compatible responses
