Quick Start — 3 Lines of Code

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://tokenease.io/v1",
    api_key="sk-your-tokenease-key"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, DeepSeek!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

That's it. If you already use the OpenAI SDK, just change base_url and api_key. Everything else stays the same.
