Anthropic (Claude)

Anthropic's Claude models — strong reasoning, balanced for everyday use.

1. Create an Anthropic account​

Open the link below, then click Sign Up in the top right. You can sign up with Google or with email and password. Complete the email verification.

→ Open platform.anthropic.com

2. Configure billing​

In the left sidebar of the console click Settings, then Billing. Add a credit card and top up your balance — even just $5 is enough to get started.

→ Open Billing directly

3. Open API Keys​

In the left sidebar click API Keys. You will see a list (empty the first time). Click the + Create Key button in the top right.

→ Open API Keys directly

4. Create and copy the key​

Give the key a name (e.g. youkore) and confirm. The key will only be shown once — copy it immediately before closing!

note

Anthropic has no free tier for APIs. Prepaid credits are required, but with $5 you can make thousands of calls with the lighter models (Haiku).
