Show your DeepSeek account balance in the VS Code status bar.

Usage

Install the extension.
Run DeepSeek Balance: Setup API Key from the Command Palette.
Choose where the extension should read the API key from.
Enter your DeepSeek API key when prompted.
Check the DeepSeek balance item in the lower-right status bar.

Click the status bar item or run DeepSeek Balance: Refresh to refresh the balance manually. The balance also refreshes periodically.

API Key Sources

secretKey: stores the API key in VS Code SecretStorage under SECRET_KEY. This is the default source.
config: reads the API key from deepseekBalance.apiKey.
claudeConfig: reads the API key from claudeCode.environmentVariables[name=ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN].

The extension also reads and migrates the legacy SecretStorage key deepseek.apiKey.

Commands

DeepSeek Balance: Refresh: refresh the displayed DeepSeek balance.
DeepSeek Balance: Setup API Key: choose the API key source and optionally update the API key.

For backward compatibility, the extension also registers the legacy command IDs deepseek-balance.refresh and deepseek-balance.setApiKey.

Settings

deepseekBalance.apiKeySource: API key source selector. Options: secretKey, config, claudeConfig. Default: secretKey.
deepseekBalance.apiKey: API key used when deepseekBalance.apiKeySource is config.
deepseekBalance.refreshIntervalMinutes: refresh interval in minutes. Default: 10.
deepseekBalance.lowBalanceThreshold: show a warning icon when the displayed balance is at or below this amount. Default: 1.

Compatibility

This is a browser-hosted VS Code extension. It uses the browser entry point only and does not ship a Node extension host entry point.

If the status bar item shows an error, hover it to see details. When running in browser-based VS Code environments such as vscode.dev or github.dev, the DeepSeek API request may be blocked by browser CORS policy.

Development

Install dependencies, then run:

bun run compile
bun run lint

Package a local VSIX:

bun run package:vsix

Publish with VSCE:

bun run publish:vsce

Automated Publishing

This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that can publish the extension to the VS Code Marketplace.

Required GitHub Secrets

VSCE_PAT: Personal Access Token created in the Visual Studio Marketplace publisher portal.
VSCE_PUBLISHER: your Marketplace publisher ID.

Publish Flow

The workflow file is .github/workflows/publish.yml.

Push a tag like v0.0.6 to publish automatically.
Or run the workflow manually from the GitHub Actions page.
The workflow builds the extension, packages a .vsix, publishes it to the Marketplace, and attaches the package to a GitHub Release when triggered by a tag.

When publishing from a git tag, the tag version must match the version field in package.json.
