DSH API Balance · Floating API Balance Badge

A floating badge for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Web GUI. Shows your LLM API account balance, drags anywhere, resizes, and switches text color to match whatever sits beneath it.

Screenshots

The screenshots show the badge itself only. No real UI or conversation content.

Features

• Floats in a frame-wide overlay above every column. Click-through, so it never blocks the app underneath.
• Drag it anywhere on screen.
• Resizable from 70% to 250% with the bottom-right handle.
• Frosted-glass look: translucent neutral tint, backdrop blur, a thin border. Reads fine on light and dark skins.
• Text color follows the brightness of the content beneath it, light text over dark areas and dark text over light ones. The badge samples this every 1.5 seconds.
• Click the badge to refresh, or let it refresh itself every minute by default. The interval is configurable in Settings › API Balance, down to 30 seconds.
• Works with DeepSeek, Moonshot (Kimi), OpenAI, or any custom endpoint.
• API keys stay in the Harness credential store (~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml) and never reach the browser. curl gets the key through an environment variable, not the command line.
• The settings page covers provider and key setup, balance details (total, granted, topped-up, available, used), badge visibility, size, and position reset.

Installation

One command installs the plugin into your DSH web profile and registers it automatically (dsh plugin reconciles dsh.profile.bundles for you). The tarball form is plain HTTPS. You don't need a GitHub account, an SSH key, or git:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/GPIOX/dsh-api-balance/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz

Alternative git-based form (resolves through your local git configuration): dsh plugin --profile web add github:GPIOX/dsh-api-balance.

Then restart DSH (stop the dsh process and run it again, e.g. dsh web), refresh the page, and open Settings › API Balance to save your key. The badge shows up right away.

Uninstall / rollback:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-api-balance-badge

The in-app Market (Settings › Plugins/Market) can install it too once it is listed in the awesome-dsh-plugin registry. For local development: dsh plugin --profile web add link:/path/to/dsh-api-balance-badge.

Zero-install quick start (dynamic plugin)

If you would rather not touch your profile, paste the plugin into any DSH Web GUI session as a dynamic plugin. No build step and no restart:

1. Call the cordis_define tool (kind: "new", any 3-6 letter prefix) and paste plugins/api-balance/host.js / plugins/api-balance/client.js as code.host / code.client
2. Activate the returned Package with cordis_run and click Approve on the run card
3. Open Settings › API Balance, pick a provider, paste your key, and save. The badge shows your balance immediately

Dynamic plugins live in the process, not on disk. After a DSH restart, define and activate it again (both source files are in this repo).

Supported providers

Security

• The browser only sees whether a key is configured. The plaintext key is never sent back to the page.
• Keys are stored by the Harness credential service (~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml), the same place DSH keeps its other secrets.
• curl receives AI_BALANCE_KEY through env, so it never appears in process listings.
