This guide shows, step by step, how to generate and copy your API key on the DeepSeek platform to use in integrations (such as SprintHub, for example).

2. Step by step

2.1. Access the DeepSeek console

1. Go to https://platform.deepseek.com and log in with your credentials.

2. In the left sidebar menu, click "API keys".

2.2. Create a new key

1. In the "API keys" section, click "Create new API key".

2. In the window that opens, enter a descriptive name (e.g.: SprintHub or MyProject).

3. Click "Create API key".

2.3. Copy and store your key

Immediately after creation, DeepSeek displays the full key only once.

Click "Copy" to put the key on the clipboard.

Finish with "Done".
