Simple DeepSeek web search cli written in TypeScript. Cheap + fast search tool for agents (built on DS web search API)
Hey guys, if you've been following along with DeepSeek news you will know they recently added web search capability to the DeepSeek API, where you can use web search under the same API key. It is pretty handy, also super cheap at only $0.75 per 1,000 requests (pretty much as cheap as it gets, one search credit can encompass many responses).

DeepSeek has recently added web search capability to its API, allowing users to conduct searches using the same API key. This feature is particularly useful and costs only $0.75 per 1,000 requests, making it an affordable option. A TypeScript CLI wrapper has been developed to simplify the use of this API for agents, making it easy to incorporate into open source models and harnesses.
To use the CLI, users simply need to install it via npm and then authenticate by providing the API key. The CLI supports various search commands, including searching for "World Cup winners 2026" in English, fetching content from a URL, and saving search results to a .md or .json file. The CLI also offers support for unit/integration/live/e2e testing, CI checks, changelog, authentication handling, linting, SDK wrapper, and a comprehensive README, which can help save time and effort for developers.
To utilize the CLI, users only need to install it, authenticate, and add a comment in their AGENTS.md file. The project's GitHub repository and NPM package are available for reference, and users are encouraged to star the project if it has been helpful.
