Connect DeepSeek
Create a DeepSeek API key and connect it as QueueWrite’s writing provider.
Updated
QueueWrite uses the writing, research, and optional image accounts you choose. You create an API key with the provider, enter it in QueueWrite, and that provider bills usage on their own pricing. A consumer subscription such as ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro does not necessarily include API usage or API credit. QueueWrite does not resell provider access.
- 1Create an API key with DeepSeek
Sign in to your DeepSeek account and create an API key from their developer or API settings. Copy the key when it is shown — many providers only display the full key once.
- 2Open QueueWrite Settings
In QueueWrite, open Settings and go to the Providers section. Choose DeepSeek.
- 3Paste the key and Test & Save
Paste the API key into the field, then use Test & Save. QueueWrite checks that the connection works before treating it as ready.
- 4Keep the key private
Do not share the key in screenshots, support emails, or chat. If a key is exposed, revoke it in the provider dashboard and create a new one.
In the Direct macOS app, provider credentials are stored in macOS Keychain and used by QueueWrite to talk to the provider you selected. Never email or message your API keys to QueueWrite support.
DeepSeek bills API usage on your DeepSeek account. A separate consumer chat subscription, if any, is not the same thing as API credit.
