Ship on the Dheep AI API in an afternoon
The developer portal for Dheep. Create keys, watch your token spend in Rand, tune rate limits and read documentation that assumes you have work to do.

}'Everything you need around the API
The portal is deliberately separate from the Dheep chat product — this is the control plane for your integration.
Secret keys, done properly
Keys are shown once and stored as a SHA-256 hash. Disable, regenerate or delete per environment.
Usage you can attribute
Every request is logged against the key that made it — with tokens, latency and status code.
Predictable rate limits
Per-minute, per-day and monthly token ceilings are enforced at the gateway.
Playground
Fire a real chat completion from the browser and copy the equivalent cURL.
Audit trail
Key changes, plan changes and sign-ins are recorded with IP and device.
OpenAI-compatible
Point your existing client at our base URL and swap the key. That's the migration.
