# DeepSeek-V3.1 API, priced in naira

URL: https://bridge.wekoya.tech/models/deepseek-v3-1
Updated: 2026-11-08

**In short:** You can use DeepSeek-V3.1, a model by DeepSeek, from Nigeria through Bridge and pay in naira, with no dollar card. It costs ₦439 per million input tokens and ₦1,667 per million output tokens. Call it with the OpenAI SDK using the model ID `deepseek-v3.1`.

## Price and limits

|   | DeepSeek-V3.1 |
| --- | --- |
| Input, per million tokens | ₦439 |
| Output, per million tokens | ₦1,667 |
| Cached input, per million tokens | ₦228 |
| Writing to the cache, per million tokens | ₦439 |
| Context window | 163,840 tokens |
| Longest reply | 8,192 tokens |
| Reads pictures | No |
| Tool calling | Yes |
| Reasoning (thinks before it answers) | Yes |
| Model ID | `deepseek-v3.1` |

Prices as of 8 November 2026. They are in naira and follow the exchange rate, so the [live price](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/models/deepseek-v3-1) may differ a little. A token is roughly three quarters of a word.

## What a request costs

A request that sends 1,500 tokens (instructions, the conversation so far and a question) and gets 500 back (about 375 words) costs about ₦1.49 on 8 November 2026. A thousand of them cost about ₦1,492. When 1,000 of the input tokens are instructions that stay the same, [prompt caching](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/docs/prompt-caching) reads them at the cached rate and the request costs about ₦1.28.

## Use DeepSeek-V3.1 from your code

Bridge speaks the OpenAI format, so the OpenAI SDK works as it is: set the base URL to `https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/v1`, use your Bridge key, and pass `deepseek-v3.1` as the model. [Create a key](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/sign-up), then:

```python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="wk_live_...", base_url="https://wekoya-api.wekoya.tech/v1")
reply = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v3.1",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)
print(reply.choices[0].message.content)
```

Streaming works the same way, and so does [tool calling](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/docs/tools). The [quickstart](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/docs) has the same in JavaScript and curl, and the [Responses API](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/docs/responses) works too.

## Lower-priced models that can do the same things

These cost less per request than DeepSeek-V3.1 and can also call tools, reason and take at least 163,840 tokens of context. Quality differs from model to model, so test on your own examples first: [AI tasks](https://bridge.wekoya.tech/docs/workloads) compares models on your cases and tells you whether a cheaper one is good enough.
