In this tutorial, you will learn how to create an API key on the Anthropic platform and configure it in Scriptcase AI.
Claude subscription vs. Anthropic API key
Scriptcase AI uses the Anthropic API to communicate with the Claude provider. Therefore, the subscription for Claude’s standard plans is not used as credit for this integration. As a result, you do not need to have a standard Claude plan to use Anthropic in Scriptcase AI.
To configure Anthropic in Scriptcase AI, you need to generate an API key in the Claude Console and have available balance/credit in your account for API usage.
API billing is handled separately, according to the API usage in the Claude Console.
Getting the Anthropic API key
1 - Access Claude Console with your account:
https://console.anthropic.com/
When accessing Claude Console for the first time, select how you will use the Claude API. Individual: recommended for personal use, where you create, test, and manage your own API keys and billing. Organization: recommended for companies or teams, allowing you to invite colleagues, share API access, and manage billing centrally.
2 - After logging in, on the dashboard tab, click the Get API key button.
3 - Define a name for the key. The name is optional, but it is recommended to use an identification that makes it easier to manage the key later in the list of keys.
Choose the workspace where you want to create your key. The default workspace can be used, as shown in the image below.
4 - After generating the key, copy the displayed code and store it in a safe place.
Save the API key in a secure location. Do not share it, publish it in repositories, or send it to third parties. If you lose the key, you will need to generate a new one and update the configuration in Scriptcase AI.
For more details about creating and using the API key, see the official Anthropic documentation:
Configuring Anthropic in Scriptcase AI
1 - After logging in to Scriptcase with an administrator account, access the Tools > Scriptcase AI menu.
2 - Copy the API key generated in the Claude Console and paste it into the API Key field. In this step, select the Anthropic provider, as well as the Chat Model and Smart Tasks Model that will be used by Scriptcase AI.
If desired, you can also enable the option to create and translate the data dictionary automatically.
3 - Project access permissions
In the project list, define the access permissions of Scriptcase AI for each project.
Enable Code access to allow Scriptcase AI to analyze the code of the open event and assist with tasks such as explanation, review, adjustments, and code suggestions.
Grant access to the connections so that Scriptcase AI can query the database structure, such as tables and fields, and use this information when generating or adjusting code.
Scriptcase AI accesses only the database structure, such as tables and fields. It does not access or read the data stored in the tables.
4 - After filling in the information and defining the desired permissions, click Save settings.
After saving, the chat and smart tasks will be available using the Anthropic provider in Scriptcase AI.
