 Getting an Anthropic API key allows you to integrate models like Haiku, Opus or Sonnet  into this plugin. The process involves creating an account, setting up billing, and generating a key.

 
## Step 1: Create an Anthropic Account

 
- Go to the [Anthropic Platform website](https://console.anthropic.com/).
- Click Sign up to create an account, or log in if you already have one.  
*Note: a paid Claude subscription (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plans) does not automatically give you API access; they are separate billing systems.

## Step 2. Set Up Your Workspace

 Anthropic organizes projects into **Workspaces**. This allows you to manage different teams or billing environments separately.

 
- Verify which workspace you are in by checking the dropdown menu at the top of the screen.
- The default workspace is usually titled "Default".

 
## Step 3: Access the API Dashboard

 
- Once logged in, you will be in the Platform dashboard.
- Navigate to the **API keys **section on the left sidebar, or go directly to [https://platform.claude.com/settings/keys](https://platform.claude.com/settings/keys)

- Click the**"+ Create key"**button.
- Select a Workspace and Give your key a name 
- Click** Add**
- Please save your secret key in a safe place since **you won't be able to view it again**.

 
## Step 4: Integration in Joomla

 
- Log in to your Joomla Backend.
- Navigate to **Plugins** > **System - Autolanguage**.
- Open the **Service & API **tab.
- Select Anthropic (Claude)
- Paste your key into the **Anthropic ****API Key** field.  
![anthropic key](https://www.joomill-extensions.com/images/documentation/autolanguage/anthropic-key.png)
- **Save**.
- After you have save the API key, you can select the model you like to use.

## Known Issues:

 *Your credit balance is too low to access the Anthropic API. Please go to Plans & Billing to upgrade or purchase credits.*

 If you still encounter this error after topping up your account, the system may not have refreshed your existing keys. To resolve this, go to **Plans & Billing**, ensure your credits are added, then **delete your old API keys** and generate a **new one**. Using this new key should immediately restore your access.
