Code

Python

The official openai package works as is. Change the base URL and the key; everything else is OpenAI’s SDK.

Checked 26 October 2026

Install and connect

Shell
pip install openai
export NOKEEP_API_KEY="sk-nokeep-test"  # your own key once it connects
client.py
import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://nokeep.ai/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["NOKEEP_API_KEY"],
)

Send a message

Python
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v4.1-flash-uncensored",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a blunt editor."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Cut this opening line to ten words: ..."},
    ],
)
print(reply.choices[0].message.content)
print("credits:", reply.usage.model_extra.get("nokeep_credits"))

Stream

Python
stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v4.1-flash-uncensored",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a limerick about a cat."}],
    stream=True,
)
for chunk in stream:
    if chunk.choices:
        print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="", flush=True)

Async

Python
import asyncio
import os
from openai import AsyncOpenAI

client = AsyncOpenAI(base_url="https://nokeep.ai/v1", api_key=os.environ["NOKEEP_API_KEY"])

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

asyncio.run(main())

Errors

The SDK raises one exception per kind of error and retries 429 and 5xx on its own, waiting the Retry-After time. The code names what went wrong; Errors lists them all.

Python
import openai

try:
    reply = client.chat.completions.create(model="deepseek-v4.1-flash-uncensored", messages=messages)
except openai.APIStatusError as error:
    print(error.status_code, error.body["error"]["code"])

Fields the SDK has no argument for

Send min_p, top_k and repetition_penalty in extra_body={...}. See Samplers for fiction.
