3.2 Body Parameters (application/json)

Parameter Name	Type	Required	Description	Example
model	string	Yes	The model ID to use. See available models listed in the Overview for details, such as deepseek-chat.	deepseek-chat
messages	array	Yes	Chat message list, compatible with OpenAI interface format. Each object in the array contains role and content.	[{"role": "user","content": "hello"}]
role	string	No	Message role. Optional values: system, user, assistant.	user
content	string	No	The specific content of the message.	Hello, please tell me a joke.
temperature	number	No	Sampling temperature, taking a value between 0 and 2. The larger the value, the more random the output; the smaller the value, the more concentrated and certain the output.	0.7
top_p	number	No	Another way to adjust the sampling distribution, taking a value between 0 and 1. It is usually set as an alternative to the temperature.	0.9
n	number	No	How many replies to generate for each input message.	1
stream	boolean	No	Whether to enable streaming output. When set to true, returns streaming data similar to ChatGPT.	false
stop	string	No	Up to 4 strings can be specified. Once one of these strings appears in the generated content, it stops generating more tokens.	"\n"
