Developing AI services using the **DeepSeek API** involves integrating its capabilities (such as natural language processing, embeddings, or other AI functionalities) into your application. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you build AI services with DeepSeek API, along with example code snippets.


---

### **Step 1: Understand DeepSeek API**
Before starting, familiarize yourself with the DeepSeek API documentation. Key features might include:
- **Text Embeddings**: Generate vector representations of text.
- **Text Generation**: Generate human-like text.
- **Question Answering**: Answer questions based on context.
- **Summarization**: Summarize long text into concise points.
- **Sentiment Analysis**: Analyze the sentiment of text.

Ensure you have:
- An **API key** from DeepSeek.
- The **API endpoint** (e.g., `https://api.deepseek.com/v1/...`).

---

### **Step 2: Set Up Your Development Environment**
1. **Install Required Libraries**:
   Use libraries like `requests` (for HTTP requests) and `json` (for handling JSON data).

   ```bash
   pip install requests
   ```

2. **Store API Key Securely**:
   Store your DeepSeek API key in an environment variable or a secure configuration file.

   ```bash
   export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
   ```

---

### **Step 3: Build AI Services**
Below are examples of AI services you can build with DeepSeek API.

#### **1. Text Embeddings Service**
Generate embeddings for text inputs.

```python
import os
import requests
import json

# Load API key from environment variable
API_KEY = os.getenv("DEEPSEEK_API_KEY")
EMBEDDINGS_URL = "https://api.deepseek.com/v1/embeddings"

def get_text_embeddings(text):
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    payload = {
        "input": text,
        "model": "deepseek-embedding-v1"  # Replace with the correct model name
    }
    response = requests.post(EMBEDDINGS_URL, headers=headers, json=payload)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()["data"][0]["embedding"]
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

# Example usage
text = "Hello, world!"
embeddings = get_text_embeddings(text)
print("Embeddings:", embeddings)
```

---

#### **2. Text Generation Service**
Generate human-like text using DeepSeek's text generation API.

```python
def generate_text(prompt, max_tokens=50):
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    payload = {
        "prompt": prompt,
        "max_tokens": max_tokens,
        "model": "deepseek-textgen-v1"  # Replace with the correct model name
    }
    response = requests.post("https://api.deepseek.com/v1/textgen", headers=headers, json=payload)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()["choices"][0]["text"]
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

# Example usage
prompt = "Once upon a time"
generated_text = generate_text(prompt)
print("Generated Text:", generated_text)
```

---

#### **3. Question Answering Service**
Answer questions based on a given context.

```python
def answer_question(context, question):
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    payload = {
        "context": context,
        "question": question,
        "model": "deepseek-qa-v1"  # Replace with the correct model name
    }
    response = requests.post("https://api.deepseek.com/v1/qa", headers=headers, json=payload)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()["answer"]
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

# Example usage
context = "The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris, France."
question = "Where is the Eiffel Tower located?"
answer = answer_question(context, question)
print("Answer:", answer)
```

---

#### **4. Summarization Service**
Summarize long text into concise points.

```python
def summarize_text(text, max_length=100):
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    payload = {
        "text": text,
        "max_length": max_length,
        "model": "deepseek-summarization-v1"  # Replace with the correct model name
    }
    response = requests.post("https://api.deepseek.com/v1/summarize", headers=headers, json=payload)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()["summary"]
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

# Example usage
long_text = "The Eiffel Tower is a wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower."
summary = summarize_text(long_text)
print("Summary:", summary)
```

---

#### **5. Sentiment Analysis Service**
Analyze the sentiment of text (e.g., positive, negative, neutral).

```python
def analyze_sentiment(text):
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    payload = {
        "text": text,
        "model": "deepseek-sentiment-v1"  # Replace with the correct model name
    }
    response = requests.post("https://api.deepseek.com/v1/sentiment", headers=headers, json=payload)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()["sentiment"]
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")

# Example usage
text = "I absolutely love this product! It's amazing."
sentiment = analyze_sentiment(text)
print("Sentiment:", sentiment)
```

---

### **Step 4: Deploy Your AI Services**
1. **Containerize Your Application**:
   Use Docker to containerize your application for easy deployment.

   ```dockerfile
   FROM python:3.9-slim
   WORKDIR /app
   COPY requirements.txt .
   RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
   COPY . .
   CMD ["python", "app.py"]
   ```

2. **Deploy to Cloud**:
   Deploy your containerized application to cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.

3. **API Gateway**:
   Use an API gateway (e.g., Flask, FastAPI) to expose your AI services as REST APIs.

   ```python
   from fastapi import FastAPI
   app = FastAPI()

   @app.post("/embeddings")
   def embeddings(text: str):
       return {"embeddings": get_text_embeddings(text)}

   @app.post("/generate-text")
   def generate(prompt: str):
       return {"generated_text": generate_text(prompt)}

   # Add other endpoints as needed
   ```

---

### **Step 5: Monitor and Scale**
- Use monitoring tools like Prometheus or Grafana to track API usage and performance.
- Scale your services horizontally using Kubernetes or cloud auto-scaling features.

---

### **Example Use Cases**
1. **Chatbots**: Use text generation and question answering to build conversational AI.
2. **Search Engines**: Use embeddings for semantic search.
3. **Content Moderation**: Use sentiment analysis to filter inappropriate content.
4. **Document Summarization**: Automatically summarize long documents.
