Requires `DEAPI_API_KEY` environment variable:

```bash
export DEAPI_API_KEY=your_key
```

Get your API key at [deapi.ai](https://deapi.ai) (free $5 credit).

## API Pattern

All deAPI requests are async:
1. Submit job → get `request_id`
2. Poll status every 10s
3. When `done` → fetch from `result_url`

For detailed API parameters, see [docs/api-reference.md](../docs/api-reference.md).
