# DeepSeek - Credential setup | Docs - nodulz

Source: https://nodulz.com/docs/credentials/deepseek

Language: en

Credential type in nodulz : `ai:deepseek`.

## Create access

Open the [DeepSeek console](https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys) and create an API key for your project or account. Copy it when created and save it in a nodulz deepseek AI credential. Check that the account can access the selected model.

## Configure in nodulz

In your instance, open Credentials, select the type above, name the credential and complete these fields:

```text
apiKey, baseUrl - https://api.deepseek.com/v1
```

Save the credential, then select it on relevant nodes. URLs or parameters marked as node settings belong directly on that node.

## Things to check

The URL reflects connector configuration; adapt it to your endpoint. Suggested catalog models may be unavailable to your account. Multimodal and JSON support depend on provider and model.

Verify an operation with expected permissions and data before publishing. Keep secrets out of logs and revoke them with the provider when no longer needed.
