Accessing the Web with Volcano Engine

A hands-on tutorial on using Cherry Studio with Volcano Engine to access DeepSeek R1 web-connected features.

1. Log in/Register a "Volcengine" account

Visit the official website:https://www.volcengine.com/

Volcengine official website

2. Create a "network-enabled" "My App"

2.1. Log in to Volcengine and go to the "Volcano Ark" page. Portal:https://console.volcengine.com/ark

2.2. Click in order:"My Apps" - "Create App" - "No-code" - "One-on-one chat"

3. Fill in the information and publish the app

App name: Just give it any name as required. (With*required, the rest can be left blank)

Key point: the network plugin must be enabled (it needs to be activated first)

3.1. Activate the network plugin feature (note the cost and free usage count)

Click Buy Now and follow the steps until the interface below appears, which means activation was successful.

Pay attention to the status; activation is now successful

Then return to the "Fill in app information" page and continue.

3.2. Network search "Advanced configuration" instructions

Choose according to the actual situation; my personal recommendation:

• If you want precise control over input and output, you can use "Custom invocation" network access;
• If you want to avoid trouble, you can leave it unchanged and use "Automatic invocation" - default value;
• If cost is not an issue and you have very high requirements for information timeliness, you can "Force enable".

3.3. Publish the app

Click the "Publish" button in the top right corner, and the app will be created successfully.

4. Get API Key

Click in order:"API Invocation Guide" - "Select API Key and Copy" - "View and Select"

Copy the API key first, then paste it into Cherry Studio. (See the interface below for details.)

Note: If you don't have an API key, in the top right corner of the pop-up window - "Create API Key", then just copy the API key.

5. Use the API key in Cherry Studio to enable network access to DeepSeek-R1

5.1. Open Cherry Studio - "Settings" - "Enter any name" - "Type: openAI"

5.2. Configure the URL and key

Note: If you can't find the address, or it's not a Beijing node, you can find the specific address here. Don't forget the "/":

5.3. Add the model name

Note: copy the small text below as the model name, otherwise an error will occur.

6. Preview of the result
