To get started, simply update the base URL of your DeepSeek API calls to route through AI Gateway. Here's how you can send a request using cURL:
Example fetch request curl https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/{account_id}/{gateway_id}/deepseek/chat/completions \--header 'content-type: application/json' \--header 'Authorization: Bearer DEEPSEEK_TOKEN' \--data '{"model": "deepseek-chat","messages": [{"role": "user","content": "What is Cloudflare?"}]}'For detailed setup instructions, see our DeepSeek provider documentation.
Every site on Cloudflare now has access to AI Audit, which summarizes the crawling behavior of popular and known AI services.
You can use this data to:
- Understand how and how often crawlers access your site (and which content is the most popular).
- Block specific AI bots accessing your site.
- Use Cloudflare to enforce your
robots.txtpolicy via an automatic WAF rule.
