Installation
Settings → Plugins → Browse → install plugin
Manual
Clone into your DMS plugins directory:
git clone https://github.com/juliuswms/dms-deepseekbalance.git \
~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/deepseekBalance
Then restart DMS.
Configuration
Open DMS Settings (Mod + , → Plugins → DeepSeek Balance) to:
- Enter your DeepSeek API key (from https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys)
- Adjust the refresh interval (1–60 minutes)
How It Works
The plugin runs a bash script that:
- Reads your API key from plugin settings
- Calls
GET https://api.deepseek.com/user/balancewith Bearer auth - Parses the JSON response to extract total, granted, and topped-up balance
All data stays local. Only the official DeepSeek API is contacted.
