Claude API Key

Claude is provided by Anthropic and is suitable for both text translation and vision-enhanced translation workflows.

Before You Request a Key​

  • Create and sign in to an Anthropic developer account.
  • Complete any required billing, organization, or identity setup.
  • Make sure API access is enabled for your account.

Request Steps​

  1. Open the Anthropic Console.
  2. Go to the API Keys or Developer Keys page.
  3. Create a new API key.
  4. Apply project, quota, or access restrictions if needed.
  5. Copy the generated key and store it securely.

Configure It in Mask​

  1. Select Claude as the provider in settings.
  2. Paste your Claude API key.
  3. Choose a text model and a VLM model.
  4. Keep the default endpoint https://api.anthropic.com/v1 unless you have a specific reason to change it.
  5. Click Test to confirm the connection works.
  • Use a lower-cost, faster Claude model for text translation when possible.
  • Make sure the VLM model you choose supports image input.
  • If testing fails, first verify API access, quota/billing status, and model availability.

Security Notes​

  • Do not hardcode Claude keys in source files or scripts.
  • Consider using separate keys per device or workflow for easier revocation and auditing.
  • If a key may be exposed, revoke and recreate it in the Anthropic console immediately.
