# Anthropic (Platform)

> Connect Anthropic Console Admin API credentials to nOps Inform

## Overview

nOps uses your **Anthropic Admin API key** and an **API key name** to bring Claude Platform (Console) usage and billing into Inform. Credentials are stored securely, validated before save, and are not shown again after you connect.

<Note>
  This integration is for **Claude Platform / Console** (programmatic API usage) only. If your organization uses **Claude Enterprise** (claude.ai seats), see [Claude.ai (Enterprise)](/integrations/claude-enterprise) instead — the two credential types are **not** interchangeable. A Console Admin key is rejected by the Enterprise endpoints, and an Enterprise Analytics key cannot call the Console Admin API.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* Anthropic account with permission to create **Admin API keys**
* nOps organization **administrator** access

<Note>
  Only **admins** and **owners** can connect, re-validate, or disconnect. **Members** see **Admin Only** on connectable cards.
</Note>

## Create an Anthropic Admin API key

1. Sign in to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com).
2. Open [Admin API keys](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/admin-keys).
3. Click **Create new Admin Key**.
4. Enter a descriptive name (for example `nOps Integration`).
5. Copy the Admin API key immediately — it is typically shown only once.

<Warning>
  Do not share the Admin API key or expose it in public repositories. Generate a new key and reconnect if it is compromised.
</Warning>

## Connect in nOps

### Where to open Anthropic (Platform)

* **To connect for the first time** — go to **Settings → Integrations** and click the **Anthropic (Platform)** card.
* **To manage an existing connection** — go to **Settings → Account Status → Connected apps** and click the **Anthropic (Platform)** chip to re-validate or disconnect.

### Connect steps

1. Click the **Anthropic (Platform)** card or chip.
2. Enter an **API key name** and paste the **Admin API key**.
3. Click **Connect**.

nOps validates the key with Anthropic before storing it.

## Manage your connection

Administrators can **Re-validate** or **Disconnect** from the connected modal. **Action required** means validation failed — confirm the key is still active in Anthropic and reconnect if needed.

## Troubleshooting

* **Invalid key** — confirm you used an **Admin API key**, not a standard API key.
* **No data** — allow up to **24 hours** after connect; confirm billing activity in Anthropic.
* **Multiple accounts** — repeat connect with a unique **API key name** per Anthropic organization.

## Security

Follow your organization's key rotation policy. Update nOps before rotating keys in Anthropic to avoid sync gaps.
