DeepSeek Balance — DSH plugin

Português | English

Shows the money balance of your DeepSeek account in the left sidebar, right above the "More" button.

[icon] Balance                    US$ 12.34
[•••]  More

What it does

• Reads the balance from GET https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance using the same DEEPSEEK_API_KEY credential the DSH deepseek-official provider uses.
• Shows the total balance (topped up + granted) in the currency returned by the API (usually USD), formatted with the browser locale.
• Refreshes itself every 60 seconds while the window is visible.
• Click the row to force a fresh read (bypasses the 30 s host cache).
• Hover for details: granted, topped up, last read time and a usage hint.
• On failure it shows — with the reason in the tooltip:
  • DEEPSEEK_API_KEY missing from credentials/launch environment;
  • key rejected by the API (HTTP 401/403);
  • network failure/timeout;
  • balance below the minimum for new requests (value in warning color).

Requirements

• DSH 0.2.1-rc.2 (tested on that version; it uses the client slot API and the authenticated harness Connection).
• DEEPSEEK_API_KEY configured — on DSH's Models page or as an environment variable of the process that starts the app.
• No third-party dependencies and no install scripts.

Install

Clone this repository and install the package folder:

git clone https://github.com/Brunojomosi/dsh-plugin-deepseek-saldo.git

With DSH open, ask the agent:

install the plugin from the folder C:\path\to\clone

plugin_manager accepts the absolute path of the package. After installing, the row appears on its own; no restart is needed on the first install.

Privacy and security

• The only external address is https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance.
• The key stays inside the host process: the page receives only the number, currency and timestamp, through an authenticated DSH Connection route (/api/deepseek-balance/state).
• No telemetry, no file writes, no cookies/localStorage reads, no command execution.

Layout

File	Role
lib/index.js	Host half: registers the authenticated Connection route and calls the DeepSeek API.
lib/client.js	Browser half: registers the row in sidebar.footer.action (the space right above the account menu).
cordis.patch.yml	Inserts the deepseek-balance entry into the profile Loader.
locale/en.json, locale/zh.json	Title and description shown in Settings → Plugins.
icon.svg	Plugin icon in the plugin list.

Where it lives and how to remove

DSH installs the package as a link to a folder on your computer, so that folder must keep existing. A common choice is:

%USERPROFILE%\.dsh-plugins\dsh-plugin-deepseek-saldo

Keep the folder out of Downloads and out of the app installation folder, so cleanups and DSH updates cannot affect the plugin.

To remove: Settings → Plugins → DeepSeek Balance → uninstall (or plugin_manager with remove_bundle). Restart the app if the removal asks for it.

Reinstalling: the browser module id is dsh-plugin-deepseek-saldo. If you remove and reinstall this same package, DSH may cache the old module as "absent" and the row only comes back after restarting the app — that is harness behavior, not the plugin.

Limitations

• Only visible with the sidebar expanded; in the 56 px rail the row is hidden.
• The balance is the API account balance (DEEPSEEK_API_KEY). If the key is changed in the environment, the next cycle reads the new balance.
• The currency comes from the API and is limited to CNY or USD; when both wallets exist, the row shows USD first and the other currency in the tooltip. Other currencies are not provided and there is no conversion.
