# OpenAI-Compatible Chat Completions via DeepSeek (ScanPay)

> OpenAI-Compatible Chat Completions via DeepSeek (ScanPay) is a paid API for AI agents from scanpay-edge.alextaghiashvili.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-04).

Provides pay-per-call OpenAI-compatible LLM chat completions powered by DeepSeek, accepting messages in OpenAI format and returning standard chat completion responses (up to 2048 tokens).

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability openai-compatible-chat-completions-via-deepseek-scanpay-f24d09d6
```

Example prompt: Using the DeepSeek chat completions endpoint, send this conversation — system: 'You are a helpful assistant', user: 'Summarize the concept of compound interest in two sentences' — with a max of 256 tokens and temperature 0.7, and give me the assistant's reply.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need OpenAI-compatible LLM inference on a strict pay-per-call basis (no subscription), especially in agentic or automated workflows where you want to pay $0.002 USDC per request via x402 micropayment. It's ideal for agents that already use the OpenAI SDK (drop-in base_url replacement), need DeepSeek-quality reasoning cheaply, or want deterministic per-call billing rather than monthly quota plans. Prefer alternatives if you need more than 2048 output tokens, streaming responses, embeddings, or function/tool calling.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled via x402 — returns 402 Payment Required
- Messages array empty or missing — returns 400 validation error
- Content exceeds 8000 characters per message — rejected by schema
- max_tokens exceeds hard cap of 2048 — silently capped or rejected
- DeepSeek upstream timeout — may return 504 or partial response
- Invalid role value outside enum (user/assistant/system) — 400 error
- Model field specifying unsupported model — may fall back to deepseek-chat or error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call x402 APIs for AI agents: OpenAI-compatible LLM chat, perp funding and arbitrage spreads, crypto prices, gas, FX, Solana SPL mint audit, token price by contract, x402 delivery-receipt verification, web search, clean page extraction, batch tools and deterministic code-security scanning. USDC on Base or Solana, no signup, no API key, from $0.0001 a call.

## Output

Returns a standard OpenAI-format chat.completion JSON object containing the assistant's message content, finish reason, token usage breakdown (prompt, completion, total), model name, a unique completion ID, creation timestamp, and a _receipt field with the USD price charged for the call.
