Error Handling
HTTP Code | Error Type | Resolution |
---|---|---|
401 | Invalid API Key | Verify API key in request header |

Best Practices
1. Rate Limiting
- Free Tier: 5 requests/minute
- Pro Tier: 60 requests/minute
2. Data Handling
- Always mask sensitive data before sending
- Store API keys in environment variables
3. Caching
Cache frequent identical requests:
# Python Example
from functools import lru_cache
@lru_cache(maxsize=100)
def get_chat_response(prompt):
return api.chat.completions.create(
model="deepseek-chst-1.0",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
)
Compliance
1. GDPR/CCPA Requirements
- Provide opt-out mechanisms for data collection
- Delete user data via
DELETE /users/{id}
endpoint within 72 hours of request
2. Data Retention
- Chat logs: 30 days (encrypted at rest)
- Uploaded files: 7 days unless specified
