dsh-balance-chip
Show your DeepSeek API balance directly inside the DSH app, in two places:
- Bottom-right pill – always visible, non-blocking (
pointer-events: none), dot + amount, auto-refresh every 60 s
- Sidebar footer – beside Settings (dot in rail mode)
Screenshot: DeepSeek balance pill in the bottom-right corner of the DSH app
- 🟢 green ≥ $5 · 🟠 orange < $5 · 🔴 red on errors
- Tooltip shows currency and last update time
- Your API key never ships with this plugin – it is read at runtime from your local DSH credential store, and the only network call goes to the official
api.deepseek.com/user/balance endpoint from the host side.
Prerequisites
Your DeepSeek API key must be stored in the DSH credential store under the reference DEEPSEEK_API_KEY (this is the same place the built-in DeepSeek provider uses – the web UI's Models page writes it there). If the reference is missing, the displays show Key?.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add github:AKUSH99/dsh-balance-chip
Restart dsh web (or use the market's one-click restart). No build step, no dependencies.
Requires dsh web 0.1.0-rc.6 or newer (same base as the plugin market).
Installation alternatives
- Plugin Market: once listed, open Settings → Plugin Market in the app, search "balance", one-click install.
- Prebuilt package: the latest release ships a ready tarball – the market offers it as the faster install path without any build step.
How it works
| Part | What it does |
|---|
lib/index.js (host) | Resolves the key via the credentials service, polls GET https://api.deepseek.com/user/balance every 60 s, serves the cached state at GET /dsh-balance |
client/client.js (web) | Registers a sidebar.footer.action item and a shell.overlay pill that fetch /dsh-balance and render dot + amount |
No telemetry, no external dependencies, everything stays on your machine.
Troubleshooting
Key? in the chip/pill – no DEEPSEEK_API_KEY reference in your credential store. Store your key via the web UI's Models page (or the credentials service), then reload.… while loading – the first poll hasn't finished yet; wait a few seconds.- Red dot / error – the host couldn't reach
api.deepseek.com/user/balance; check your network and key validity.
中文说明
在 DSH 应用内实时显示 DeepSeek API 余额：右下角常驻胶囊（不阻挡点击）+ 侧边栏底部状态点，每 60 秒自动刷新。余额低于 5 美元显示橙色，出错显示红色，悬停可见币种与更新时间。API Key 绝不内置：运行时从本机 DSH 凭证库读取，仅向官方余额接口发起请求。使用前请确认凭证库中存在 DEEPSEEK_API_KEY 引用（与内置 DeepSeek 提供方相同，网页端模型页面会写入）。
FAQ
Why two displays? The sidebar chip is subtle and always in reach; the bottom-right pill gives an at-a-glance status without blocking clicks (pointer-events: none).
How fresh is the value? The host polls the official balance endpoint every 60 seconds; both displays refresh from that cached state.
Does polling cost tokens? No – the balance endpoint is separate from the chat API and does not consume paid tokens.
Currency? The official API reports the account currency; the displays show it as-is.
