Why a Claude API key?

Orsay uses Claude (Anthropic’s AI) to power your conversational agents. To connect your own Claude API key to Orsay, you need to create one in the Anthropic console.
With your own API key, you control your usage directly with Anthropic.

​
Step 1 — Create an Anthropic account

  1. Go to console.anthropic.com
  2. Click Sign Up
  3. Register with your email or via Google

​
Step 2 — Add credits

Before you can generate an API key, you need to add credits to your account.
  1. In the console, go to Billing (left menu)
  2. Click Add credits
  3. Enter your credit card details and choose an amount
Start small (5–5–10) to test. You can top up at any time.

​
Step 3 — Generate an API key

  1. In the console, go to API Keys (left menu)
  2. Click Create Key
  3. Give it a name (e.g., Orsay)
  4. Copy the key shown — it won’t be visible again
Your API key starts with sk-ant-.... Never share it or commit it to a Git repository.

​
Step 4 — Add the key to Orsay

  1. In Orsay, go to Settings → Integrations
  2. Paste your key in the Claude API Key field
  3. Click Save
Your agents now use your own Claude key.

​
Monitor your usage

In the Anthropic console, the Usage tab shows you:
  • Tokens consumed per day
  • Associated cost
  • Breakdown by model
You can also set up budget alerts under Billing → Budget & Alerts to get notified when your usage exceeds a threshold.

​
Frequently asked questions

Go to API Keys in the Anthropic console, delete the old key, then create a new one. Update the key in Orsay immediately.
Yes, technically you can — but we recommend creating a separate key per workspace to better isolate usage tracking.
Anthropic does not offer a free trial on the API. You need to add credits upfront, but the minimum is very low — a few dollars is enough to get started.
