Using DeepSeek API with Pinegrow AI Assistant

According to user feedback from Kenneth Kajander, DeepSeek API can be successfully integrated with Pinegrow’s AI Assistant using a specific configuration.

As of 10-25-2025 and based on his testing with Pinegrow 8.4 Pro, he was able to fix the common “Selected API endpoint does not support function calls” error with the following setup:

DeepSeek website : https://www.deepseek.com/en

Configuration Settings

API Endpoint:

https://api.deepseek.com/v1/chat/completions

Model Names:

deepseek-chat|tools
deepseek-reasoner|tools

API Key:

Your DeepSeek API key

Key Points from User Feedback

  • The full endpoint path (/chat/completions) is required, not just the base URL
  • The |tools suffix is essential for enabling function calling compatibility
  • Both deepseek-chat|tools and deepseek-reasoner|tools models worked successfully
  • This configuration was tested and confirmed working in Pinegrow 8.4 Pro

Important Note

While we haven’t independently verified this setup, Kenneth’s successful implementation suggests this approach may work for users seeking to integrate DeepSeek‘s services. As API configurations and requirements can change frequently with AI providers, we recommend testing this configuration in your specific environment and consulting DeepSeek‘s current documentation for the most up-to-date integration requirements.
