DeepSeek search and fetch – $0.75 per 1000 successful requests

What happened: DeepSeek published documentation for its Search API and Fetch API, which give agents and RAG applications access to live web content. Search returns structured results from DeepSeek's in-house search engine, and Fetch returns a single page as Markdown. Key numbers: Pricing is $0.75 per 1000 successful requests. Search count ranges from 1 to 50 with a default of 10. Why it matters: The APIs use the same bearer authentication as the DeepSeek API, letting existing DeepSeek API users add web search and page retrieval to agent workflows without a separate credential.
