pi-deepseek-balance-status

A pi extension that displays your DeepSeek account balance in the status bar.

Installation

pi install git:github.com/carlos-reynosa/pi-deepseek-balance-status

After installing, the status bar will show your balance on every session.

Requirements

• DeepSeek provider — built into pi, no setup needed
• A DeepSeek model — deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro are built-in. No models.json required.
• A DeepSeek API key — configure in ~/.pi/agent/auth.json:

{
  "deepseek": {
    "type": "api_key",
    "key": "sk-..."
  }
}

Note: This extension requires a raw DeepSeek API key. Pi subscription plans (OAuth, cookie-based auth) are not supported — the DeepSeek balance API only accepts Bearer tokens.

After adding your key, run /reload.

What you'll see

| Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | DS - 💰 ¥110.00 | Balance retrieved successfully | | DS - 💰 no-model | DeepSeek models not available in pi | | DS - 💰 no-key / DS - 💰 no-auth | API key missing or invalid | | DS - 💰 err | Network error or API is down | | DS - 💰 n/a | Balance not available in API response |

Configuration

The extension works out of the box with the default prefix DS - 💰. To customize it, create ~/.pi/agent/deepseek-status.json:

{
  "prefix": "DS - 💰"
}

| Config value | Status bar result | |--------------|-------------------| | "DS - 💰" (default) | DS - 💰 ¥110.00 | | "DeepSeek 💰" | DeepSeek 💰 ¥110.00 | | "🔋" | 🔋 ¥110.00 | | "" | ¥110.00 |

The prefix also applies to all error states.

Reload

Edit config → /reload or start a new session to pick up changes.
