Sample Request
curl -X POST "https://api.transendai.net/v1/chat/deepseek-v3.2" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TRANSEND_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type": "application/json" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{ "role": "system", "content": "你是一名教学助手,善于归纳总结和出题。" },
{ "role": "user", "content": "请把这篇文章总结为 5 条要点,并给出一道思考题。" }
],
"reasoning": { "chain_of_thought": "retain" },
"response_format": { "type": "markdown" }
}'
chain_of_thought can be retain, summarise, or hide.
Tool Calling
Register tools using standard JSON schema:
"tools": [
{
"name": "getLectureNotes",
"description": "Fetch lecture notes by ID",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": { "lecture_id": { "type": "string" } },
"required": ["lecture_id"]
}
}
]
When the assistant calls a tool, execute it and append the result as a new assistant message with role: "tool".
Response Example
{
"choices": [
{
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "### 要点\n1. 模型采用混合专家结构...\n\n**思考题**:..."
}
}
],
"usage": { "prompt_tokens": 2100, "completion_tokens": 620 }
}
Error Codes
| Code | Meaning | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
400 | Unsupported reasoning mode. | Use retain, summarise, or hide. |
403 | Regional restriction. | Ensure the workspace has access to DeepSeek models. |
429 | Token or RPM limit exceeded. | Implement retries with exponential backoff. |
Optimisation Tips
- Keep prompts concise; Chinese tokens consume fewer credits, but large contexts still add up.
- Use
response_format: { "type": "json_schema" }when integrating with grading systems. - Record
trace_idfor analytics and hit correlation in the observability dashboard.
