DeepSeek launches standalone Search and Fetch APIs for agents at 5 yuan per 1,000 calls

DeepSeek added two standalone tools to its API platform: a Search endpoint returning structured web results and a Fetch endpoint that returns a page as Markdown. Both cost 5 yuan per 1,000 successful requests, with a limit of 5 queries per second per account.

• Search returns 1 to 50 results, 10 by default
• Fetch returns page title and Markdown body
• Billing only for HTTP 200 with content; failures are free
• Rate limit of 5 queries per second per account, HTTP 429 on excess
